__TOC__
== 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.  


 
===Table: Tool Tiers===
== Variants ==
There are several variants that you can craft. Each variant has a different durability, attack power, and mining speed. Pickaxe heads can be made from metal via [[Crafting#Smithing|smithing]] or [[Crafting#Casting|casting]].

== Use ==
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.
=== Grid Crafting ===
The pickaxe is not used as a tool in (grid crafting).
==Storage==
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.
