== Creation ==

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

* ''Knapping: Stone pickaxes cannot be crafted by [[Knapping|knapping]].'' 

* Casting: Copper and Bronze alloy pickaxes can be made by [[casting]], which requires 100 metal units.

* Smithing: Iron, Bronze alloy and copper pickaxes can be made by [[smithing]], which requires 1 ingot.

** Note: Pickaxes can also be smithed from the rare base metals gold and silver.

== Usage ==

The pickaxe is the primary tool used in [[mining]] [[ores]]. Pressing the left mouse button "hits" the stone or other selected block.  

=== Harvesting ===

Pickaxes are used to harvest [[rock]], which include [[ores]] and mineral materials. When blocks are broken, [[rock#harvesting|rock]], [[rock#harvesting|small stones]] or ores contained in chunks of stone will be dropped. Ores within rock be crushed with a [[hammer]] in the crafting grid to obtain smeltable nuggets.

=== Combat ===  

Attacking a mob (melee combat): place the tool in an active hotbar slot and press or hold left mouse button to strike the target.

Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar. Pickaxes do not stack in inventory or when placed in containers. The [[containers#stationary container|tool rack]] is a specialized wall mounted storage container that allows players to store tools. Tool racks are made of 6 sticks in the drafting grid and once placed, can store 4 tools each. Tools are placed from an active hotbar slot and removed using the right mouse button to an empty space in the hotbar.
