What it does

Players craft graphite tools from a graphite material, and the recipes can be changed through KubeJS, which the author includes as an example. Since the tools are aimed at personal use in modpacks, the tiers are tuned to sit near iron. Graphite Tools runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod is open source under The Unlicense.

Key features

  1. Graphite tool set

    Pickaxes, axes, shovels and other tools are made from graphite, adding a material between stone and iron.

  2. Iron-level tools

    The tools are set up to perform close to iron tools, so they fit early progression.

  3. KubeJS recipe example

    The author provides a KubeJS example, showing how the graphite recipes can be adjusted in a modpack.

What the author says

This mod adds graphite tools. Nothing else. Not even recipes or graphite itself, so if you want to use this, you will need to provide those on your own. (For example with KubeJS)
