Block-Breaking

Propicks can be used to mine blocks, which include ores and mineral materials. However, when blocks are broken, rock, small stones or ores normally contained in the chunks of stone will not be dropped, this means the block is destroyed without any yield.

Storage

Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar. Up to four tools can be placed on the tool rack, a specialized wall-mounted storage container. Propicks do not stack in inventory or when placed in containers.
