    I actually just have a simple question:

    Is it possible, right now, to create an item that is both wereable and placeable?

    Like, a spear that can be used in combat, or to decorate a wall?

    Placeable items are .objects and weapons are .sword or .gun or what have you. I *think* the engine looks for different variables in each, but you could easily test it; just use some of the key words from one in the other.

    You could add a custom crafting recipe (no crafting station requirement) that changes it from a weapon or a placeable block and vice versa.

    Yeah, I thought at this as a solution. Maybe a hand-crafted recipe. You create the weapon, then you can change it anytime to a placeable
