Find flint or loose stones (basalt, granite, andesite, obsidian or peridotite). <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a [[knapping]] surface. Choose the tool to create from the menu. ''We recommend an Axe and a Knife.'' Using a stone in the active hand, left click on the orange boxes to remove them from the stone on the ground, which will create a finished blade or tool head. When the last orange box is removed, the completed tool head will transfer to the player's hotbar. Press E to open the inventory GUI and access the crafting grid. In the grid, combine the stone tool blade with a stick (handle) to create the finished tool. Sticks can be collected from the ground or by breaking leafy branches.

The GUI at the bottom of the player's screen shows a single left hand slot, 10 right hand slots (hotbar, accessed using 1-0 keys or scrolling the mouse wheel) and 4 empty container slots. Items can be held in the player's left hand. A player begins in the world with only 11 inventory slots (right hand hotbar and single left hand) available until containers are added to the 4 container slots. To begin expanding player inventory, crafting [[Crafting_Recipes#Portable_Containers|hand baskets]] is a good option. To create baskets, harvest [[Cooper's_Reed_(Cattail)|reeds]], which can usually be found near lakes.
