What it does

Recipes in the mod use bones and sticks in place of the usual materials, so tools can be made from bones once a player has them. Copper and diamond versions of several tools are included, such as the copper axe, hoe, pickaxe, shovel and sword, and the diamond axe, hoe and pickaxe.

The mod ships its recipes as a data pack, so it can also be run on a server that supports data packs. BoneToolTexture is required, and it supplies the custom textures that make the bone tools look like bone. The mod is server required and client optional, so a server needs it, while players may leave it out.

Several recipe data packs can be active at once, and when they are, MoreToolTexture is needed as a resource pack. Files for 1.21.2 – 26.3 are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest file covering 26.3. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Bone tool recipes

    Tools are crafted from bones and sticks, which gives a use for bone that comes from skeletons and similar sources.

  2. Copper tools

    Copper axe, hoe, pickaxe, shovel and sword recipes give an intermediate tier between stone and iron.

  3. Diamond tools

    Diamond axe, hoe and pickaxe recipes are included for players who want a higher-tier bone option.

  4. Textured bone tools

    Custom textures make the crafted tools appear as bone rather than as plain items.

Questions

Does BoneToolCrafting need BoneToolTexture?

BoneToolTexture is a required dependency. It supplies the custom textures that make the crafted tools look like bone.

Does a player need the mod to join a server?

No. The environment is server required and client optional, so only the server must run BoneToolCrafting, and players may still install it for the extra textures.

What is needed to use several recipe data packs together?

Using multiple recipe data packs at the same time requires MoreToolTexture as a resource pack.
