All tools may be used as weapons, some tools are primarily used as "weapons" that damage mobs. For other information about weapons, see the [[combat]] page or pages about individual weapons.

"Harvesting" tools are primarily used to gather resources, while "Crafting" tools are used to process resources or create items using the crafting grid, or through interactive crafting mechanics.
