Overview

The Wooden Shears mod is designed to streamline the early-game experience by providing players with a functional alternative to iron shears. Created for players who prefer to stay on the surface or focus on building and decoration before diving into deep mining, this mod allows for the collection of essential organic materials using only wood.

While they function identically to their iron counterparts in terms of harvesting capabilities, Wooden Shears are balanced by a significantly lower base durability. This makes them a perfect bridge tool for survivalists, skyblock players, and those looking to decorate their world with wool and foliage during the first days of a new save.
