AI Tools
by St0x0ef
AI Tools is a NeoForge technology mod that gives pickaxes, shovels, axes and hoes the ability to learn from the blocks they break.
What it does
Tools from this mod start weak against unfamiliar blocks and improve as they are used. Each block type mined builds experience, so the tool gets more efficient on the materials a player works with most. Abilities become available over time, including Fortune, Efficiency, and larger mining areas such as 3x3 and 5x5.
Gems can be inserted into the tools to speed up their progression and boost their stats. Upgrades and gems are handled through an in-game AI Computer, where players obtain, combine and upgrade the AI-powered tools. Recipe viewers REI and JEI integrate with the mod, and its settings can be changed on an in-game configuration screen.
Installation is a single NeoForge file for 1.21.1. Servers and players both run the mod, since its environment is client and server. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is publicly available.
