Knapping is used to make primitive tool and weapon heads and is one of the first types of crafting you'll do in the game.

To begin, collect two stones of granite, andesite, basalt, obsidian, or flint and select them in your hotbar. Hold left shift to sneak and right click on a solid block to place the small stone on the ground. If you do this with flint, a small dialog box will immediately open. If done with non-flint the small stone will be placed on the ground. Continue to hold shift and right click on the rock you placed to open the dialog box. From there you can select the type of tool head you'd like to make.

Once the tool head type has been selected, use the second stone (of the same type) 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 they can work on the piece at the same time and complete the tool head faster. When the tool head is completed, it will jump into the inventory of the player who removes the last voxel.

Crafting Tools

To complete the tool, place the tool head in the crating grid and add a stick for a handle. With flint you can make an axe, shovel, knife, spear and arrowheads. With any other stone, you can make everything you can with flint except arrowheads. Tool heads made of flint tend to last longer than their non-flint counterparts.
