Knap Your First Stone Tools

Gathering Loose Stones

Your first survival task is to collect loose stones from the ground. Walk around your spawn area and look for small stone fragments on the surface—these are not mined from blocks, but picked up like items. Collect at least a handful.

Creating Primitive Tools

Open your inventory and place two loose stones together in a crafting grid. This creates a knapped stone tool—your earliest axe, pickaxe, or knife depending on the recipe. You'll need to experiment with different stone combinations to unlock various tool types.

These primitive tools are fragile and break quickly, so craft multiple backups. Use your stone axe to fell trees for wood, and your stone pickaxe to mine softer stone blocks.

Next Steps

Once you have basic tools and wood, consult your quest book for the next progression step. You'll soon be building your first furnace and charcoal pit to begin smelting copper ore. Keep collecting loose stones—you'll need them for crafting and building early structures.
