LICHEN: FLINT CHISEL

A simple mod that adds the ability to make stone chisels from flint and obsidian. Stone chisels are weaker than the metal versions, with lower durability. Our IRL ancestors made flint chisels, so I figured this would be a nice addition. Make the vanilla the wooden club to use as an early game hammer as well.

For 1.22.x

Q: Is this compatible with [insert tool overhaul mod]?

A: I have no idea. Support will probably have to be on their side, unless I personally use the mod and find a need for it.

this is a really nice mod, however it appears this mod does not work with Combat Overhaul as it effects the wooden club

Ah yeah, someone mentioned it down below, I will try to figure out how to make them work together :)

Make the vanilla the wooden club to use as an early game hammer as well.

i've updated the versioning to include 1.22.3 because nothing in the update would affect or change the functionality of this mod.

EnderMelody, May 29th at 11:38 PM

can you add compat with combat overhaul's club as well? this mod works on 1.21 perfectly which means it can be used with CO, but CO changes the wooden club so it makes your patch not apply.

Beauty, thank you for this!

I know it's a long shot, but any chance to have a version that allows more types of stone be used and not just flint?

all that an irl chisel needs is hardness so any metamorphic rock should do

Hello, I made a companion mod for this so that this is still usable.

I will look into updating this with AQueerOddity's suggestions after I play 1.17 for a bit since I haven't yet (haven't played in a while actually, had to move this year)

To offer another idea for solving the issue of 1.17 requiring a hammer for chiseling, I'd suggest perhaps altering the basegame wooden club item to function as a hammer. From a technology perspective, it makes plenty of sense. Prehistoric peoples used small logs as hammers all the time. From a gameplay perspective, it's a good way to bridge the technology gap between early stone age and pre-smithing copper age when it comes to the available toolset, similarly to the antler pickaxe in Lichen. It would also give players a reason to craft the wooden club, which otherwise I've never seen used before, since as a weapon, it's far inferior to stone spears.

DanaCraluminum, Jul 20th 2022 at 5:27 PM

Chisel requires at least copper hammer since 1.17 update, so it is no longer playable unless you add flint hammer

Lich , Jan 15th 2022 at 4:46 PM

@Vinter_Nacht unfortunately that's not in my capabilities, but if anyone feels up to it that is definitely a cool idea.

Vinter_Nacht, Jan 8th 2022 at 5:44 PM

Could you perhaps see your way to making the flint chisel only work on non-stone blocks?  Be nice for carving wood and the like, but leaving carving stone to higher tier tools.

Lich , May 25th 2021 at 10:44 PM

Considering that this mod only adds in a recipie and nothing else, that seems to be a bug with chisels themselves, rather than this mod, and is best reported to the game devs. The flint chisel adds no new mechanics to the game and is using the base chisel mechanics provided.

The game closed if you quickly break a bunch of voxels with a flint chisel in a creative
