Creature Hit Chart

See also: Tool Durability Chart and Block Durability

The following is a chart for the number of required hits it is needed with a particular weapon or tool to kill a specific creature. Note that there will occasionally be a reduced effect, requiring an extra hit to complete the kill.

Starting in version 1.5, damage dealt by a weapon or tool is proportional to the amount of health a blockhead has. The numbers below should be considered "best case" results.

* Sharks are of variable size. The required number of hits to kill may increase with its size. Please note the full range of results as available.

** Cave Trolls have a health range, similar to sharks, but they have no size differentiation. Please note the full range of results available, if possible.
