Axe of Regrowth

The Axe of Regrowth is a pre-hardmode weapon crafted from a Staff of Regrowth. Like the Staff of Regrowth, it increases the yield of any herbs and seeds harvested. When used on Dirt Blocks, Grass will be planted without the need for seeds. When used to chop down trees, an acorn will automatically be planted in the same spot.

When harvesting plants from Clay Pots or Planter Boxes, only blooming herbs that would drop seeds can be cut. When harvesting plants from natural blocks in Singleplayer mode, immature sprouts will be destroyed and plants that are fully grown but not in bloom will drop seeds.

The Axe of Regrowth can also be used to grow Moss on stone. The type of moss will vary depending on the proximity to other types of moss, with the range for moss color being 27. As such, one can spread the Fire Moss from the cavern's lava layers all the way up to the surface.

Crafting
The Axe of Regrowth can be crafted at a Work Bench, using the Staff of Regrowth, a Tin Axe, 12 Jungle Spores, and 3 Vines.

Tips

 * The Axe is the tool of choice to increase herb yields, especially from Farming.
 * The Axe may grow grass on any Dirt Block, no matter how deep it is. Unfortunately, grass has limited function underground. Past a certain point, Grass will not grow weeds or Dayblooms, and Trees will not mature.
 * The Axe of Regrowth can be used to indirectly spread Hallowed, Corrupted, or Crimson grass underground by growing grass near Pearlstone, Ebonstone, or Crimstone respectively.
 * If there is no other moss nearby, the game will randomly select one of the five "regular" moss types (red, yellow, green, blue, or purple) to grow. With this in mind, you can grow and destroy moss on a single block until you get the color you desire.
 * The Axe is useful for placement of Sunflowers in arenas, homes, etc. Sunflowers can be placed anywhere with just 2 grass-covered dirt blocks, and enough vertical space.
 * The rate at which grass is created with the Axe is increased by the Brick Layer.
