Assorted Machetes
Assorted Machetes lets players fell and clear plant growth with machete-style tools that sit between a sword and a hoe in use.
What it does
Machetes cut through leaves, vines and undergrowth, so clearing a path through a jungle takes a few swings instead of many. The same tools hit slightly softer than the sword of the same material and swing faster, while still working on cobwebs and bamboo like a sword does. Copper, emerald and amethyst machetes are made from vanilla items, and one extra set of materials, including tin, steel and ruby, is added, with the tool tiers set in the assortedlib-tool-tiers config file.
Wood, stone, gold, iron, diamond and netherite machetes are crafted at one smithing table. The mod needs Assorted Lib, which supplies the tool tier settings, and Fabric API on Fabric. Assorted Machetes is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 26.2 only, with 1.0.0 released on 2026-10-05 for Fabric and NeoForge.

What the author says
A machete is a lighter and quicker sword that also cuts through leaves, vines and the rest of the undergrowth. Clearing a path through a jungle or trimming back a hedge goes by in a few swings. Worlds made with Assorted Tools 11.x keep everything when you switch to this mod. Don't install it beside Assorted Tools 11.x.
