      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

About Bones...

6 posts in this topic

What if every mob dropped bones and you could carve the into tools. That's what Native Americans did! The bones would be for skinning animals or cutting food, not mining or attacking.

And.... Does it have any advantage over stone or metal tools? Why should I use bones over stone?

It has more durability and lasts longer than stone and it is really cheap to make, especially in areas without trees, because bones can also replace sticks for tools.

In real life bones were used for their elasticity, It is a way to make a primitive tool that can be sharp and not as brittle as stone. Also bone tools  were used 

One example wold be a hollow bone , like a piece of pipe with a handle. This specific tool was used to straighten wood to be used as javelin. The same tool could be used to bend wood and make snow shoes, of course the wood needed to be heated with hot steam.

Another tool was a kind of chisel that you could use to carve wood, because bones are more elastic, you can hammer it. So suppose you are making a stone axe and need a handle for it, you would use this bone chisel to carve a hole on the handle to fit the stone axe into it.

Another use for bones was to make arrow and javelin heads, The point here was because bone is lighter than stone. So arrows and javelins would go farther, but would not be as efficient against big game.

So if you are hunting pheasants is OK to use bone arrow head, but if you are hunting bison you should use stone arrow heads.

The point I am trying to make is that there is so much specialization that can go into a Minecraft mod. 

Anyone that have read my posts would know that I am the first to ask for more realism into TFC. But I do not believe it will ever happen unless someones makes a mod or addon specific for Stone age.

For now I would settle for having Plant fibers to tie the tools to the handles.
