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.
Appearance
The spade has a slightly curved round appearance with the color varying based on the materials that are used in crafting the spade. However, all spades have a brown wooden handle.
Uses
Spades are effective on the following items:
Using a tin spade to harvest any of the above plants does not cause wear on the spade. Spades made from more durable materials work faster and last longer than those made with lesser materials. The order of durability (least to most) is: flint, stone, gold, tin.
All tools are effective against creatures.
Where Found
Spades are crafted at a tool bench. They have increasing durability based on the material being used to craft the spade. For an increase in quality, a blockhead will need to upgrade the tool bench to the appropriate level before crafting the desired spade. Gold spades have an added benefit of picking up additional items when used on blocks.

Gold Spade Items
- See also: Gold Tool
To record the items and frequency of items received when using a gold spade on a block, a comprehensive chart has been constructed. Gold spades have produced bonuses on dirt (and clay and flint deposits) and sand (and black sand) at an estimated rate of 5% per stroke.
Durability
- See also: Tool Durability Chart
The amount of use of a spade before being destroyed is related to the quality of spade and materials used. The higher the quality of material, the more uses a blockhead will get from a spade.
