The Shaft is a basic piece of wood. Two shafts can be obtained from punching or using a Chisel type tool such as the sharp stone on a wood block, producing a shaft at the second and fifth stages. Punching or chipping wood also produces bark and saw dust. Using a chisel type tool allows shafts to be produced more quickly. Shafts can also be obtained as a common drop from witches.
Shafts are used primarily as the handles for tools, torches, bows and swords, amongst other crafting recipes, or crafted alone into a pointy stick. They can also be used to construct campfires, fire ploughs, wood clubs, or burned as fuel, providing twice the burn time of saw dust or bark.
Shafts can be placed into soft surfaces in the overworld such as dirt and sand blocks. Mob heads can be placed on them in this manner as well.
Crafting
Splitting logs in a crafting grid requires placing an Axe into the grid with the block of wood. When used this way, the axe is damaged one durability point per log.
