Tools



Knives are tools used to harvest grass, cattails, and wild foods including meat from animals. Knives are used to craft wood items and in leather working.

Creation

The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:

  • Knapping: Any tool-making stones.
  • Smithing (1 ingot): crafted from any tool-appropriate metal.
  • Assembly, with either Stick or Bone:

Usage

Harvesting

Knives can butcher dead animals and certain mobs, such as drifters. Players need to place the knife in an active hotbar slot and harvest the corpse until the butchering interface opens, displaying harvested items. Once all items are removed from the butchering menu, the corpse and the butchering menu can both be removed with the Esc key.

Knives can also be used to harvest plants, by placing the knife in an active hotbar slot and left-clicking on the target block. Plant resources that must be harvested with a knife are dry grass, reeds and papyrus. Some plants can be harvested faster by using a knife, such as mushrooms.

Combat

Knives can be used to attack mobs in melee combat, by equipping it in the hotbar and striking mobs with the knife. Knives have the shortest melee range of any weapon.

Crafting

Knives are sometimes used in grid-based crafting in order to create certain items, especially those that need to be scraped, sliced or cut. The knife is not consumed in the process but looses some durability, and can be removed from the grid after crafting. If the player does not remove the knife from the crafting grid when closing the crafting menu, the knife will go to the first available empty hotbar or inventory slot, in that order.

Storage

Knives can be placed against a wall, stored in containers and placed on tool racks.

History

  • Prior to version 1.18.0-pre8, knapping stone blades would produce two knife blades, not one. Stone knives also had lower durability before this version.
