Healing Tools

Name Image Attributes
Heal Kit Shears.png This item is used to store bandages and medicine in stacks of up to 10 for each item.
It enables players to check other player's HP, provide better healing, and grant the benefits of medicine.
Typically found in civilian chests, these items cannot stack.
Bandage Paper.png Right click to use. Heals one heart (File:full_heart.png) when not bleeding.
Note: Unlike using a bandage without a kit it will not stop bleeding unless used with a healing ointment.
Healing Ointment Red Dye.png Healing Kit item that furhter increases the healing effectiveness of bandages.
Note: Using this is preferred because it restores much more health than simply using a bandage.
Antibiotics Lime Dye.png Healing Kit item that cures infection when used.
Note: The group should keep some of this handy in case they run out of milk
Aloe Vera Orange Dye.png Healing Kit item that provides temporary fire resistance.
Note: This is almost necessary for a few dungeons and a huge advantage in others.
Revitalizer Yellow Dye.png Healing Kit item that provides temporary absorption.
Stimulant Light Blue Dye.png Healing Kit item that provides temporary speed.

Note: All of the medicine items (dyes) stack in a player's inventory to a maximum of 3. Since this is less than the maximum of 10 offered by a Heal Kit, it is only recommended to hold onto them outside of a Heal Kit when the kit is already full of the medicine in question.

Trivia

  • Stone pickaxes used to spawn in chests but since the Settlement project has been removed, the pickaxe did the same.
  • Cacti was a placeable item that could only be found in tool chests. Due to it no having many uses, it was buffed. You'd have to right-click to cover yourself in thorns, for 15 seconds, to deal damage to players that hit you. And left-click to have a small chance to inflict bleeding to players. Even after the buffs, the item was deemed useless and removed in the Re-Code Update.
