BlockTools
by tem231
BlockTools lets players craft pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes and swords from almost any block in Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
The Craft Tools Block turns a chosen block into a full set of tools across 367 block materials and 5 tool types, giving 1,835 unique craftable items. Every tool in the set has a distinct texture and an ability of its own, for example a magma block pickaxe that sets a struck mob on fire, a blue ice sword whose freeze effect builds with each hit, or a lodestone sword that draws nearby mobs in before the blow lands. The interface is available in Russian, English and German.
BlockTools runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only and is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published by tem231 under All rights reserved and is not open source.
