Scuba diving equipment or Water Breathing Potion can be used by the player to breath underwater for a short period of time. This is especially helpful to look at underwater Random Encounters.

## Crafting

The player can use various Workstations to craft any Craftable Items in the game. Most items require Ores or other Resources to be converted into Crafting Materials before made into the final item.

Crafting recipes can be locked until the player has all of the required materials in its Inventory. There is also an option to unlock all recipes.

### Resources (including Ores)

Resources are found in the world and cannot be crafted. They are often used as raw ingredients in crafting recipes. Some are found sitting on the ground, such as Eggs, but most must be harvested from Plants, Mined, or taken from Animals. All of the Herbs, Ores, and Hides are resources. For a full list, click here.

### Materials

Materials are crafted items that are used in crafting recipes themselves. Unlike Tools, these items are used up in the crafting process. Most of the steel items (Steel Plate, Steel Rod, etc.), Copper Wire, Cloth, and Coal are good examples of this. For a full list, click here.

## Co-op Mode

In Update 1.6: Trading Territories, the Protective Barrier Generator was replaced with a map-wide permissions system called Co-op Mode. In Exploration Mode or Creative Mode, this feature can be used to protect the whole map from other players. The owner of that map is automatically "mayor" and can determine the roles for their friends, clan, and visitors.

### Blueprints

As mayor, the player can capture Blueprints using the Blueprint Camera. These blueprints can be placed in any type of server (with the correct permissions) to quickly duplicate the original house or ship or other structure.

### Demolition Hammer and Demolition Sledgehammer

The player can deconstruct blocks to get back the materials used to make that block or the block itself (with some exceptions). The player can use the Demolition Sledgehammer to deconstruct multiple blocks or the Demolition Hammer to destroy one block at a time. As a mayor, the player can deconstruct any blocks and as a citizen, they can only deconstruct their own blocks.

## Decoration

* Charging Station
* Display Block
* Energy Door or Force Field Door
* Energy Heater or Small Energy Heater
* Energy Stove
* Lighting
* Tesla Coils

Energy Gates and Switches can be used to make more complex energy links.
