Auto Tools

When a player starts breaking a block, the mod checks the hotbar and selects the tool that suits that block, such as a pickaxe, axe or shovel. When a player attacks a mob or another player, it selects a sword to deal the highest damage. Players keep control of normal play and can still change items by hand at any time.

The mod is a client-side quality-of-life addition that works in singleplayer and multiplayer. Its toggle key defaults to O and can be changed in the controls settings. When the function is switched off, a message shows above the hotbar for a few seconds rather than filling the chat. Other players do not need the mod to benefit from it, and it ships with English and Russian translations. Forge is the only dependency it needs, and it works without changing game performance.
