Assorted Item Replacer
Assorted Item Replacer refills a hand tool, food slot or potion slot from the inventory when the one in use runs out or breaks.
What it does
When a held tool breaks or the stack in hand is used up, the mod looks for a replacement with the same item and enchantments, checking the main inventory before the hotbar so the hotbar layout stays as set. Tools that are used up are replaced in order, with the most worn one going first, so players can keep mining or building without opening the inventory.
Finishing a potion, bowl or stew fills the slot again when a full one is in the inventory, and an empty bottle or bowl takes its place when none is left. Assorted Item Replacer only fills the slot that ran out and leaves dropped stacks and items moved to the offhand alone.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. It requires Assorted Lib and Fabric API on Fabric, and Assorted Lib on NeoForge. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.

What the author says
When a tool breaks or you run out of a block, the same item from your inventory takes its place in your hand. Keep mining or building without stopping to open your inventory. This one only needs to be in your own game. It swaps the items the same way you would by hand, so it works on any server.
