How to Use the Cutting Board and Knives

Place the Cutting Board

Put a Cutting Board down on any solid block. Right-click it with a tool to place that tool on the board. Knives are the main tool used here: Flint Knife, Iron Knife, Diamond Knife, and Golden Knife.

Process Ingredients

With a knife on the board, right-click the board while holding an ingredient to cut it. Common uses:

• Ham: place a raw ham-like cut and cut it into Ham slices.
• Cooked meats: cut Cooked Chicken Cuts, Cooked Mutton Chops, Cooked Cod Slice, and Cooked Salmon Slice from their whole forms.
• Cabbage: cut Cabbage into Cabbage Leaf.
• Kelp Roll: cut into Kelp Roll Slice.

Some cuts feed directly into other recipes. Ham slices go into Bacon and Eggs, Bacon Sandwich, and Hamburger. Cabbage Leaf goes into Cabbage Rolls and Gleaming Salad.

Manage Tools

Knives take durability damage each cut. Swap in a fresh knife when one breaks. You can leave the knife on the board between uses and pick it up by right-clicking with an empty hand. Keep a spare knife in your inventory so a broken blade does not halt a cooking session.
