Note:
Different Materials for Different Items
Durability applies to all tools, weapons, and armor, although there are
differences in the materials that can be used in each case. For example,
you can craft leather armor and make stone tools, but not vice versa.
Caution:
Don't Let Tools Wear Down to Nothing!
Try not to let a tool become so worn it actually breaks down completely
and disappears. Instead, place two of the same type of worn tools in the

a second shot at life, or busting blocks.
The recipes for crafting tools from all materials are identical, save for the replacement of
the head of the implement with the material of choice.
To make a stone pick, you need two wooden sticks for the handle and three cobble-
stone blocks.
Replace in the same way for the axe and the sword.
You might also want to add a shovel to your collection, because it's about four
times faster than using hands to harvest softer materials such as dirt, gravel, sand,
clay, and snow, and helps some of those blocks deliver resources rather than just
breaking down.
