Tools And Weapons

Sickle

• Fast attack speed, but little damage.
• When used on a crop it will harvest the crop, drop some XP orbs, and automatically replant the crop.
• Dual wieldable.
• Fast at mining the same blocks that hoes are good at (like leaves).

Hammer

• Slow attacks with medium damage.
• The best tool for mining building blocks, which include cobbled blocks, chiseled blocks, stairs, slabs, redstone components, bricks, processed stone-like blocks, etc.
• Look awesome with a 3D model.

Dagger

• Quick attacks with lesser damage.
• Cheap to craft.
• Dual wieldable.
• Only good at mining spider-webs.

Staff

• There are a couple types of staffs. Staffs universally have more knockback than other weapons that has an area effect, but usually do no special amount of damage.

Battle Staff

• Fast attacks.
• Does little to medium damage
• Lots of knockback and also pushes back nearby mobs.

Quarterstaff

• A worse, but cheaper, version of the Battle Staff.

Bone Club

• Made with bone blocks.
• Attacks slower and does slightly less knockback than the Battle Staff but more damage.

Lightning Staff

• Made from lightning rods and an amethyst shard.
• It does little damage and alright knockback.
• When used while it is raining it will summon a lightning bolt where the player is looking and deal some magic damage to them (has a reasonable cooldown). However, if the player looks more than 100 blocks away, or doesn't look at a block (looks at the sky, void, etc.) then the bolt will strike them instead.

Claymore

• Slow but powerful attacks that do lots of damage and knockback in an area effect.
• Slow down the user when they attack.
• Expensive to craft

Double Axe

• Just like normal axes, just even slower with even more damage.

Bow

Bone Bow

• Like a normal bow, but made of bones.
• Slows you down a little more as compared to a normal bow.
• Whenever you kill a creeper with it there is a 1/15 chance that they will drop a music disc.

Long Bow

• Similar to a normal bow, except it is more expensive to craft.
• It slows you down almost to a halt when aiming, and you can only shoot when fully charged.
• It has more range, accuracy, and damage than a normal bow.

Short Bow

• Cheaper than a normal bow.
• Doesn't slow you down as much as a Bone Bow
• Less range, accuracy, and damage.

Trick Bow

• Can only be found in some structures, shipwrecks, pillager outposts, and ruined portals.
• Can use all normal arrows, as well as the new arrows (which only work for the trick bow).
• Can be repaired with string.

Wind Bow

• Pulls the target towards you, then knocks them back a bit.
• Can only be found in some structures, which are underwater ruins, shipwrecks, jungle temples, and buried treasure chests.
• Is repaired with string.

Firebolt Slinger

• A crossbow that can be crafted, or found in the Nether.
• All of the arrows it shoots are lit on fire.

Grenade

• Made of TNT, flint and steel, and some other components, it can be thrown like a snowball, but when it hits a block it will explode.
• Same blast effect as a block of TNT.

Shuriken

• Can be crafted all of lead or of iron, but act the same either way.
• They can be thrown to deal damage to an enemy (a bit more than an arrow), and if you miss you can go and pick them back up.

Shotguns

• No good for long range, or for very close up. It fires Lead Bullets that break up into smaller pieces (so each piece could hit a different mob).
• Works best at around 8 blocks away.
• You need to hold the Lead Bullets in your offhand in order to use it.
• Has a fairly long reload time.
