Using Tools as Weapons Effectively

Tool Combat Stats

Tools in this mod have been rebalanced to function as viable weapons. Each tool has custom combat attributes including damage, attack speed, and special properties. Check your tool's tooltip in your inventory to see its exact stats before committing to a fight.

Choosing the Right Tool

Pickaxes and axes deal more damage than swords of the same material, but swing slower. Shovels are faster but weaker. Consider your situation: use axes and pickaxes for tough enemies where raw damage matters, and shovels for quick strikes against weaker mobs.

Enchanting for Combat

Enchant your tools with combat-focused enchantments like Critical I to enhance their effectiveness in battle. These enchantments stack with the tool's base stats, making a well-enchanted pickaxe or axe a formidable weapon.

Durability Management

Tools take durability damage when used as weapons. Repair them at a crafting table or anvil using their corresponding material. Plan your tool usage carefully during extended expeditions to avoid being left defenseless.
