Increase the HP of Axes and Knives five fold.

*Be warned, when this mod is first installed it will make all axes and blades that people are wearing or that are in persistence on your server go into the badly damaged state (vanilla HP value is 100, this raises it to 500 thus making all items currently in persistence have 20% HP)

Simple mod that increases the durability of the Axes so that you can cut more than a few trees without ruining it. The total increase is 5x the base value. In addition it removes the ability to repair with tape but dramatically increases the number of times you can use a whetstone to repair (50 total uses of a pristine whet stone). Not only that, but you can sharpen your blades to razor sharp (pristine). If that was not enough this enables the repair of several other tools (Hammer, Pickaxe, Shovel and many others) using tape (like you are taping the handle together I guess, not realistic but better than nothing). Finally, trees and other sources of lumber will yield slightly more.

If you like that this mod makes it so your players can't use duct tape to repair their broken axes then check out NoTapeOnGuns, which makes tape no longer repair guns.
