Project Blades FAQ

Bronze is typically the easiest first upgrade since it requires materials you can find relatively early. However, if you want raw power and have access to the necessary ores, Adamantium offers better durability and damage output from the start.

Use the Mortar and Pestle crafting tool—place your base materials (like sulfur or pale powder ingredients) into it to grind them into the powder form you need. Different materials produce different powders, which are essential for many advanced recipes.

Both are gem-based tool sets with similar crafting tiers, but they have different stat distributions—one typically excels at mining speed while the other offers better durability or enchantability. Check your specific tools to see which matches your playstyle.

They're specialized tools with unique properties rather than direct upgrades; Rotten tools, for example, may have special effects or work better against certain block types. They're worth experimenting with if you're doing specific tasks like fighting undead mobs or gathering decay-themed materials.

Tungsten is heavier and more durable, making it better for long mining sessions, while Steel offers a balance of speed and durability. Steel is usually easier to craft early on, so start there and upgrade to Tungsten once you've established your resource gathering.

Prismarine tools work well underwater and have properties that make them useful for aquatic mining and combat. They're a solid mid-tier option if you're doing ocean exploration or need reliable tools for water-based tasks.

The core materials you'll want to gather are sulfur, pale powder, flintstones, and furs—these are used in most powder recipes and tool crafting. Focus on finding ore deposits for your chosen metal (Bronze, Adamantium, Tungsten, etc.) and gem sources for Ruby or Sapphire gear.

Yes, most Project Blades tools can be enchanted like vanilla tools, though some materials may have better enchantability than others. Gem-based tools like Ruby and Sapphire typically accept enchantments more readily than heavy metals.

Each material is balanced with specific strengths and weaknesses—your tool might have lower damage but higher mining speed, or vice versa. Make sure you're using the right tool for the job; a tool designed for speed won't match a damage-focused alternative in raw power.

Project Blades Mod is generally lightweight since it mainly adds items and recipes without heavy block entities or complex systems. Performance impact is minimal on most systems, though having many item frames with mod items (as shown in screenshots) can add minor overhead like any visual clutter.
