Wooden Blocks Won't Break in Terraria

[piccilo6712]

Yeah, so it's been a while since I last played Terraria. But I'm pretty sure to break wooden blocks that you've placed down your supposed to use the copper axe. Well, for some reason that's not working. Is there any way to fix this? Also, is there a way to fix this without uninstalling Terraria. I bought the special edition (I has a pet rabbit!) so I'd prefer not to uninstall it if possible. Also, is anyone else having these diffuculties?

Hey, so apparently using the copper pickaxe instead of the copper axe seems to mine the wooden blocks. Alright, issue solved! :P

Yup, the pick does pretty much everything now. The hammer has been reduced to nothing more than a cosmetic tool (it changes the shape of blocks when you hit them with it so you can make terrain like slopes on your own) and the axe pretty much just chops the trees themselves. You can now effectively play 99% of the game with only a pickaxe for tools on you.

The hammer isn't that useless. You still need it for background removal.

Which is still something you'll only be doing at your house for the most part. About the most useful thing it does away from home (iirc) is break shadow orbs but I generally use bombs for that anyway so it doesn't help there. I generally kept all of the tools on me anyway when I played but from what I remember (it has been a little while since I last played) I almost never used the other two tools.

Did the pick always do so much? Before some updates didn't the axe mine wooden blocks?

U just used the pickaxe? .-.

I think it was because of the new hammer thing, since weapons like dramhax you can't use as a hammer since it will break the blocks and the hammer can be used to change the form of the blocks, to make a better roof than the square one.

No, the pick didn't always do so much. It was changed back in the 1.2 update and became the primary tool then. I have no idea why the change was made but I can't say I don't like it. I may still carry around all the tools but having the option to leave them behind if I want to (and certainly keep them off my top row) is nice.
