Elemental Tools
by RoyalQuack
Elemental Tools adds tools with fire, earth, water and air abilities, crafted at a new Elemental Table in a survival-focused Minecraft Java mod.
What it does
The mod gives tools elemental properties. Each tool is tied to one of four elements, fire, earth, water or air, and carries abilities that follow from it. A Flame Axe lights up areas at night, while an Aqua Pickaxe belongs to the water line. The tools are meant to change the routine of mining, crafting and fighting with generic gear.
Crafting centers on the Elemental Table. Players build it from emeralds and gold, then combine elemental items and essential materials at the table to shape each tool. Once placed in the world, the table becomes a focal point for the elemental crafting path. Recipes are balanced so that new tools fit into existing progression rather than replacing it.
Elemental Tools is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across three release versions, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Recipes are documented on the public wiki.
Key features
Four elemental tool lines
Tools are grouped under fire, earth, water and air, each with its own abilities and role in combat or mining.
Elemental Table crafting
A table made from emeralds and gold serves as the hub where elemental items are combined into finished tools.
Balanced recipes
Crafting paths are tuned so the elemental tools remain a choice among several options instead of a shortcut.
Wiki-documented recipes
Full crafting recipes for every elemental tool are listed on the mod's public wiki.

Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want an alternative to standard tool progression, whether they work as miners, farmers, builders or explorers. It is also a fit for server owners who want a shared crafting hub that every player uses.
How it compares
Elemental Swords is a Forge and NeoForge mod focused on elemental swords, published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 and not open source. The Elementals - RPG is an open source mod under the Apache License 2.0 that covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2, so it reaches more loaders and a wider version range. Elemental Tools covers tools rather than swords and uses the Elemental Table as its crafting hub.
