All-purpose Tool

by Jden7

All-purpose Tool is a Fabric mod that replaces separate pickaxes, axes, shovels and swords with one tool, first crafted from a Nether Star and a stick.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved26.2 – 26.3

What it does

One tool takes over the work of the pickaxe, axe, shovel and sword. When the player looks at a block, the tool switches to whichever of those four is most efficient for that block, and it returns to its default state when no longer held. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist for 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric only, and the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Players craft the tool with a Nether Star and a stick, and an enchantment can be applied to it for four tools except incompatible ones. A gallery image in the author text shows the recipe.

Key features

  1. One tool for four jobs

    The tool acts as a pickaxe, axe, shovel or sword depending on the block the player is looking at.

  2. Automatic switching

    The tool picks the most efficient mode for the targeted block, so the player does not have to swap items.

  3. Nether Star recipe

    The tool is crafted from a Nether Star and a stick, and can take enchantments for four tools except incompatible ones.
