Talk:Breaking

Have we been double-trolled?
I've known for a long time that, contrary to expectations originating from most games, gold tools in Minecraft aren't actually worth much - they have the same durability as wood tools. However, I never even began to suspect that, for many harvestable blocks, gold tools match, if not surpass, diamond ones in harvesting speed! Has Notch managed to troll us all, not once, but twice here? o_O 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * For a long time gold tools dug at the same speed as wood, and so they were pretty much entirely worthless. Sometime pretty recently that got changed. (Beta 1.2 maybe? I'm sure the changelog knows.) They still can't break the harder blocks like Iron Ore though. And given their durability, still pretty worthless IMO.
 * BTW, I know nothing really links here yet, I'll get around to that soon. D0sboots 07:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
