Spade

Spades are crafted tools used by a Blockhead. Their primary purpose is to collect or dig into dirt, sand, or other soft ground materials at a faster rate than by hand. Spades can also be used on small plants for digging and farming. Used over time, a spade will slowly degrade and eventually be destroyed. The amount of use of a spade before being destroyed is related to the quality of spade and materials used.
