Earth Tools
Earth Tools is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds a set of five tools crafted from earth gems, each matching an iron tool in stats.
What it does
Earth Tools adds five tools made with earth gems: a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. Each one carries the same stats as its iron counterpart, so the earth-themed set can replace iron tools in ordinary play without changing how they behave. The tools work exactly like iron tools, and the change is limited to their look and recipes.
Players who prefer earth-themed equipment without a large content pack can add this light mod to get it. It needs only NeoForge, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. Both the server and every player on it need the mod to be installed, since the environment is client and server. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Earth Sword
A sword crafted from earth gems, with the same damage and durability as an iron sword.
Earth Pickaxe and Earth Axe
A pickaxe and an axe made from earth gems, matching iron tools in mining speed and durability.
Earth Shovel and Earth Hoe
A shovel and a hoe built from earth gems, working the same way as their iron versions.
Iron-equivalent stats
Each of the five tools keeps the stats of the iron tool it replaces, so gameplay balance stays unchanged.
