Assorted Shears

by Assorted Mods

Assorted Shears changes the shears that vanilla Minecraft provides, adding new materials, an enchantment and upgrade paths for the tool, and it needs Assorted Lib to run.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source26.2

What it does

The mod adds shears made from wood, stone, golden, diamond and netherite, along with copper, emerald and amethyst versions built from vanilla items. Tin, steel, ruby and other extra materials appear when another mod adds them. Diamond shears gain a netherite version at a smithing table. All of these shears shear sheep and work like vanilla shears in dispensers, and how long they last depends on the material they are made of. Durability and other material values can be changed in the assortedlib-tool-tiers config that Assorted mods share.

The Coral Cutter enchantment lets shears break coral quickly and pick up coral blocks, plants and fans as themselves without needing Silk Touch. It can be found on the enchanting table and in villager trades and loot. Required dependencies are Assorted Lib and Fabric API. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on client and server, and has files for 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge, first published on 2026-10-05.

Installing this mod beside a 11.x release of the Assorted Tools mod is not advised, though a world created with that line keeps its content once this mod is switched on. Bugs can be reported on the GitHub issue tracker, and the source code and wiki are public.
