Artisan Tools

Tools gain experience as they are used and rise in level, and an anvil can raise a tool's quality tier. Reaching level 5 opens access to Styles, which are separate items with their own textures that are applied to a tool to activate bonuses. Pre-built Styles can be configured, and players can also write custom Styles from a wide set of modifiers. Bonus categories include Abundance, Harvester, Excavator, Terraformer and Berserk, and modifiers can adjust combat strength, digging rate, running speed, health pool, endurance, wear rate and bonus drops.

Several modifiers add effects beyond stats: lifesteal heals the player on hits, area-of-effect mining widens the block break radius within a set list of allowed blocks, and auto replant restores crops after harvesting. Custom addons can extend the system further. The mod runs on Fabric and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. It is a client-side only mod, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Builds exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric file is 0.2.1 for 1.21.11 on the beta channel.
