Uses & recipes#
Natural terrain can be dug in the season: stone, soil, leaves and logs, with the required tools where the area allows, which also widens caves. Ore needs an exposed face, a clear line of sight and the required pickaxe; dig the rock around it first to expose it. Grass, pebbles and twigs can still be gathered inside portal protection, where nothing else can be dug; they regrow after a default 3 minutes. Safe areas, protected structures, copied homes, other players’ claims and bedrock remain protected.
One unit fuels 8 smelts. Smelting, crafting and repairs
