Crafting mechanics refer to the systems and processes used in games, hobbies, or activities that allow individuals to create items or tools from raw materials. This can include combining different resources, following specific recipes, or utilizing skills to produce new objects. Crafting mechanics are often found in video games, tabletop games, and DIY projects, enhancing player engagement and creativity. In many games, crafting mechanics are tied to character progression and resource management. Players may gather materials from the environment, such as wood, metal, or herbs, and use them to create weapons, potions, or armor. This system encourages exploration and strategic planning, as players must decide which items to craft based on their needs and available resources.
