How to Make and Use Bandages and Golden Bandages

Crafting Bandages

Bandage is a crafting_shapeless recipe. Gather the required ingredients and place them anywhere in the crafting grid — order does not matter for shapeless recipes. Bandages are your basic healing item for recovering after fights.

Golden Bandage

Golden Bandage is the upgraded healing item. It is produced through a shaped crafting recipe, so the arrangement of ingredients in the grid matters. Keep both Bandage and Golden Bandage stocked before heading into dangerous areas, since the mod increases difficulty over time and you will take more damage the longer you play.

When to Use Them

Use Bandage for routine top-ups between encounters. Save Golden Bandage for tougher fights or when your health is critically low. Because difficulty scales, the value of carrying a full stack of Bandages rises the further you progress. Craft a batch before exploring, and restock at your base whenever you return.
