'''Scythes''' are used for cutting large amounts of tall grass or crops quickly. Rather than cutting a single block, the scythe cuts 6 plants in a 3x3 area.
'''Scythes''' are used for harvesting multiple blocks of tall [[grass]] or crops.


__TOC__
== Creation ==
The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:
* ''Knapping: Stone scythes cannot be crafted by [[Knapping|knapping]].'' 
* ''Casting: Knives cannot be made by [[casting]].''
* Smithing: Iron, Bronze alloy and copper axes can be made by [[smithing]], which requires 1 ingot.
** Note: Knives can also be smithed from the rare base metals gold and silver.


== Variants ==
===Table: Tool Tiers===
There are several variants that you can craft. Each variant has a different durability. Scythe heads can be made from metal via [[Crafting#Smithing|smithing]].

== Usage ==
The scythe harvests 6 plants in a 3x3 area and is the most efficient way to harvest plant resources, including [[grass]] and crops when [[farming]]. 
=== Harvesting ===
*To harvest plants: place the tool in an active hotbar slot and press or hold left mouse button until the block breaks and the block or resource drops.
=== 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.
*''Note: though all tools may be used as weapons, the scythe has no known attack power or HP value per hit.''
=== Crafting ===
The scythe is not used in grid crafting.
==Storage==
Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar. Scythes 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.
