A pencil is a writing implement and early game weapon.

Usage

Writing

A pencil can be used with journals, empty notebooks and a sheet of paper to write notes that can be left for other players on Multiplayer servers.

Weapon

A pencil can be used to kill zombies, but doing so will quickly exhaust its durability; rendering it useless.

Former Crafting

Formerly, the Pencil could be used to make Doodles and work with Notepads to make Journals, this has since been removed. Template:Crafting table header |- |
