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

Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar. Propicks 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.

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.
