About the Game

The Work of Your Hands is a small-scale, deep, and relaxing open-world survival crafting game. You have no crafting screen or list of items. Harvest raw materials, create tools from them, build practical structures, and grow delicious food. You are in control of every step to live off the land. Inspired by the popular Minecraft mod Terrafirmacraft.

Create Items Intuitively


No more "buying" items from your crafting table or workbench when you have the right items - in The Work of Your Hands, you are fully in control of the item creation process. Pick up any raw materials and see how they can fit together to form a useful tool or larger component.

Build Practical Structures


Shelters you can create are inspired by real-world survival structures such as the debris hut.

Grow Unique Food


Gather, plant, nurture, and harvest the various unique plants found in this familiar but fantastic environment.

Explore the World


The world is not randomly generated. Every resource, plant, rock, and point of interest has been placed by hand for your discovery.
