🎯 Tips & Tricks
Mine boulders
Mine large boulders to get flint, rocks, and sometimes gold.
Scavenge the ground
Pick up flint scattered on the ground, especially near rocky biomes.
Plan your usage
Use flint wisely; craft tools like the Axe and Pickaxe first, then weapons.
🔧 Troubleshooting
No flint spawning
Explore new areas or mine boulders; flint is more common in rocky biomes.
Flint not dropping
Ensure you are using a Pickaxe to mine rocks; using an Axe won't work.
