Knapping is one of the first types of crafting you'll do in the game. Collect two stones of granite, andesite, basalt, obsidian, or flint and select them in your hotbar. Hold left shift to sneak and while sneaking right click on a solid block. If you do this with flint it'll immediately open a small dialog. If done with non-flint it'll place the rock on the ground. Continue to hold shift and right click on the rock you just placed to open up the dialog box. From there you can select the type of tool head you'd like to make.


Different rock types have different tool heads that can be made from them. Once the tool head type has been selected, use the second rock of the same type that you collected to chip away all voxels marked in orange. Don't worry about making mistakes, the game prevents you from breaking the parts you need. If another player has the same type of stone selected they can work on the piece at the same time as you, helping to get it done faster.

Seraph kapping

Time to make your first tools! Knapping is one of the earliest types of crafting available to the player, which allows them to make primitive tools and weapons out of stone.

Acquiring Stones

Loose stones, flint and obsidian can be found on the ground when foraging. You can collect them by using the Left-Mouse-Button.
By order of resulting tool strength, the best stones for knapping are: Obsidian > Flint > All other stone types.

Knappable stones

Only certain materials can be used to craft tool and weapon heads:

Image Material Description
LooseStones.png Stone The most common material, though only certain types of stones can be used: granite, andesite, chert, basalt and peridotite. Other stone types can be too soft to knap, such as; chalk, conglomerate, limestone, claystone, sandstone, shale, phyllite, slate, kimberlite, scoria, tuff, bauxite, halite, suevite, and marble.
LooseFlint.png Flint A little bit less common. Found commonly alongside other loose stones or on their own. Slightly better material to make tool heads from and, unlike stones, can be used to make arrow heads.
LooseObsidian.png Obsidian Most commonly found in areas where the top layer of rock is basalt. It's the best non-metal material for tools.

Knapping Surface.
  • To start knapping, you need at least 2 of the same knappable material (flint, granite, andesite, chert, basalt, peridotite or obsidian) and, while holding them, Sneak + Right-Click on the ground. If you’re using flint, you will begin knapping right away. With other stones, you have to place one stone one the ground first and press Right-Click on it with the second one in your hand.
  • After doing this, a dialog box will show up, letting you choose what tool head you want to make by clicking on it.
  • Once you've selected a tool, a 10x10 flat grid of voxels will appear on the ground, some of them highlighted with an orange outline. While holding another stone of the same or any material, knap away voxels either by holding down or clicking at your own pace, until no highlighted voxel remains. You can break away groups of voxels by disconnecting them from the main work piece.Consider sitting down using G to get closer to the crafting surface.

Finishing the Tool

Once you're done and received your tool head, place it into the crafting grid in your inventory (E) with a stick or bone to receive your finished tool. With flint, players can make an axe, hoe, knife, shovel, spear and arrowheads. With any other stone, players can make all of the tools listed above except arrowheads. Tool heads made of flint or obsidian tend to last longer than counterparts made of andesite, basalt, chert, granite, or peridotite; and tools with a bone handle tend to have 10 points of extra durability
