Baker's Tools
Baker's Tools adds a set of server-side tools made from amethyst and copper, sitting between stone and iron in the progression.
What it does
Amethyst tools are brittle and hit an extremely high enchantability, with a 50% gold bonus, but they can dig diamond tier blocks and their brittleness keeps them from replacing the diamond set. Copper tools fill the gap that players otherwise bridge only until they can craft iron tools properly, and they offer a sweet spot between stone and iron in effectiveness and durability. Copper harvests iron tier blocks, while iron works faster than copper and gold is slower still.
Because the content is server-side, players join without installing anything, and only the server owner adds the mod. Baker's Tools needs Fabric API and ovenlib to run. Polymer is optional and lets the server use custom textures, which are shipped through a resource pack that the server distributes itself, either generated or assembled by hand. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, for 1.21, with 0.1.5 as the latest file from 2024-07-28.
