Item

Items are objects that can be placed in the player's inventory in indev and infdev. They appear as 2D sprites on the ground when dropped, can be placed in chests, can be created by destroying blocks and can be used to create blocks of their respective type.

Solid Blocks
Solid blocks are the most common type of block in Minecraft and will usually take up a good portion of the player's inventory. See the blocks page for a complete listing

Liquid Blocks
Liquid blocks, unlike solid blocks, can generally be seen through, passed through, and will flow from the tile they are at to a lower or adjacent tile if no block is present. Water and lava are currently the only two liquids in the game at the moment.

Tools
Tools are items used by the player to achieve some goal that could not otherwise be accomplished without them or one that could but at a faster pace. Picking up water, creating fires, and mining ore can only be done with tools.

Weapons
Weapons wielded by the player can yield increased damage to mobs over unarmed attacks. Currently only swords and bows exist in game and while bows can only be made from wood and string, swords may be made with a variety of materials.

Armor
Armor protects players from damage of any kind besides suffocation; which includes mob attacks, falling, and even being on fire! A full set of armor includes a helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots and just as swords can be made out of many different materials.

Food
Food is eaten by the player to regain health lost from taking damage. It can be acquired through a variety of means.

Materials
Materials are items used in the construction of other non-block items. While some many blocks are used in the construction of items, this sections pertains specifically to items that are not blocks. Some mobs exclusively drop materials, making killing them a necessity.

Decorations
Decorations are items without any other purpose besides aesthetics. Paintings and flowers are pure decorations. Some players also consider shrubs and mushrooms to be decorative, yet they also have a practical purpose.
