Big Tools
by Mental
Big Tools gives Forge tools for breaking and felling blocks quickly, with a 3x3 mining mode, instant tree chopping and protection for containers.
What it does
Big Tools adds tools that break blocks faster and can clear a three by three area at once on stone, dirt, gravel and sand. Its tree detection fells an entire real tree with one swing and leaves crafted structures alone. Smart block detection stops breaking from touching chests, hoppers, dispensers, furnaces and other containers, so stored loot stays intact. Vanilla enchantments apply to these tools, so players can shape them with the enchantments they already use.
Installation needs the required tools mod, which the author names as a dependency, on Forge for 1.20.1. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. The current file is 1.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-03-23.
