Tabletop Whetstone

Tabletop Whetstone

Adds a small whetstone block. Right-click it while holding a tool or weapon in your main hand to give that item the Honed buff.

Effects

– Swords, axes, tridents and maces: +1.5 attack damage
– Pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes: +20% mining speed on blocks the tool is effective against
– Axes get both bonuses

Duration

The buff lasts for 200 uses or 5 minutes, whichever comes first.

– One use = one attack that hits an entity, or one block broken
– Sweep attacks count as a single use no matter how many mobs they hit
– The timer runs on world time, so it keeps counting while the item is in a chest

Using the whetstone on an item that is already honed resets it to 200 uses and 5 minutes. Honing does not cost durability.

Tooltip and messages

A honed item shows a line like “Honed: 187 uses, 4:12 left” in its tooltip, and the damage bonus appears in the normal attribute section. A message appears above the hotbar when the buff runs out.

Crafting

– Top row: Flint in the middle
– Middle row: Stick, Leather, Stick
– Bottom row: 3 Polished Deepslate Slabs

The recipe unlocks when you pick up flint. In Creative mode it’s in the Functional Blocks tab.

Notes

– The buff is stored on the item, not as an enchantment, so it works alongside Sharpness and Efficiency.
– The block needs a pickaxe to drop when broken.
