Resource Gathering Failure

I spotted a yellow graphite pencil lying across the desk, looking suspiciously like an unharvested birch log. Naturally, I lined up my pixel blade and gave it a solid chop. Clack. The pencil didn't shatter into craftable blocks; it just rolled two inches across the oak grain and bumped into an eraser. No mining sound effect, no floating loot, absolutely nothing. Reality's physics engine is thoroughly underwhelming. At least the cluster of charms at my hip jingled nicely on the follow-through, so ten out of ten for dramatic form, zero for resource gathering.
