The Whetstone Mod is a Minecraft Modification that allows normal Stone to rarely drop a new item, the Whetstone.
The Whetstone is used to sharpen, or "Hone" an Iron Sword or Iron Axe increasing it's Damage Output by 1, thus matching that of the Diamond equivalent. Note: This only increases the damage output. It does not change durability
or enchantability and is not a replacement for Diamond Weapons.
How to obtain
The Whetstone is a non-craftable tool item that is dropped rarely from stone (default 1 in 1000 chance). It is affected by Fortune and the drop chance may be altered from a Config file: feudalrox_whetstone.
Creative players can find the Whetstone in the Tools tab.

Credits and Thanks
This is my second mod for Minecraft. I have no prior experience with Java what-so-ever.
However, the internet is filled with knowledgeable individuals who take the time to share
their knowledge. My modding journey began with the following resources.
If I helped you in any way or agree in my ideas or posts, make sure you click that green arrow pointing up below my post or simply huggle me! I use 1.7.10 (Modded), so when I comment that I like a 1.8 mod, I will comment to downgrade to 1.7.10. I support no pics, no clicks. Suggestions that I think that are the best deserves a banner!
It is almost time to say goodbye to 1.7.10 because of the recent surge of big 1.9 mods.
Why MCreator sucks: jcm2606's file (doesn't open a new tab) He allows/welcomes anyone to link the file, so I put it here in my signature for people to know how MCreator functions. I thank jcm2606 (he's awesome) for creating the document/file and I'm just here to spread the word.
Just found your mod and am installing it now. Was wondering if you could make this mod compatible with the extended workbench mod - honed extended iron sword/ax.

Hello
Just found your mod and am installing it now. Was wondering if you could make this mod compatible with the extended workbench mod - honed extended iron sword/ax.
