A PROPOSED CHANGE TO PICKAXES

[Subxil]

Greetings Inmates!
Today we bring a proposed change to how pickaxes will work in the forthcoming season. Currently pickaxes work under 5 tiers:

• Wood
• Stone
• Gold
• Iron
• Diamond

The proposed change would remove the Wood and diamond variants. So the pickaxes would be in order of progression

• Stone
• Gold
• Iron

So why this change? Currently there is no need for a stone pickaxe nor iron pickaxe. Due to the difference in use levels being 10 levels between the stone pickaxe and gold pickaxe requirements. This change would allow for a better and longer use of your pickaxe instead of needing to make 5 seperate pickaxes throughout your play through.

But why no diamond?

We feel iron would be a fitting fit for gold, Diamond and emerald ore and feel diamond doesn’t fit in the chain of progression.

The following levels per pickaxe would be:

• Stone
  • levels 1 through 40
  • Mines:
    • Coal
    • Iron
    • Lapis
• Gold
  • Levels 40 through 70
  • Mines:
    • Redstone
    • Gold
• Iron
  • Levels 70 through 105
  • Mines:
    • Diamond
    • Emerald
    • Prismarine

We feel these changes would work better across the server please vote on the poll on our discord here

These changes will come into affect on Rift Planets launch.
