Panning is method to acquire [[metal]] ores from sand and gravel terrain blocks. Specially useful while in early game.

__TOC__

* A Wooden Pan, crafted using a piece of [[trees|log]] with a [[knife]] beside it in the crafting grid.

* [[Gravel]], [[sand]] or bony soil blocks. Each block can be panned 8 times.

:'''Note''': Even though '''Muddy Gravel''' has the word Gravel in its name, it cannot be panned.

In order to pan a block, a player must perform the following steps:

# Place the pan in the hotbar and equip it in the active hand.

# Place the sand or gravel block (to be panned) on dry land (not touching water).

# '''Wash the pan''' by pressing Right Mouse Button while in a water block and wait until the pan is empty. Any items recovered from the process will transfer to the player's hotbar or inventory.

:'''Note''': You can remain the in a water block during the whole process.

:'''Note 2''': Partially panned blocks will disappear when destroyed or touched by water, so be careful where to place your sand or gravel blocks.

Panning can provide players with a number of useful items including small stones for crafting, flint, ore nuggets (copper, zinc) and quartz chunks or clay. Panning can also provide [[rusty gears]], arrowheads, and other treasures. The item obtained and its chance will depend on the type of block panned.
