Broken Tool
by Plus200
When a tool breaks mid-task, Broken Tool swaps in a replacement from the inventory so building keeps going.
What it does
Broken Tool is a Forge and NeoForge utility that replaces a tool the moment it breaks. The replacement is taken from the player's inventory and prefers a tool made of the same material, falling back to the first tool of the same type it finds. Installation needs both sides, since the mod is client and server, and files cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.11 under the WTFPL, which is not open source.
Key features
Automatic tool replacement
When the active tool breaks, the mod takes another tool of the same type from the inventory and keeps it in the active slot.
Same-material preference
The search first looks for a tool made of the same material as the broken one before accepting any other tool of that type.
Continuous building
A replacement can be swapped in during a build, so a player working on many blocks of the same kind is not interrupted.
