Gravel Tools
by ywoswho
Gravel Tools adds a set of gravel-made sword, shovel, pickaxe, axe and hoe to Fabric worlds for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.10.
What it does
Gravel Tools gives players five tools made from gravel: a sword, a shovel, a pickaxe, an axe and a hoe. Each tool is a separate item, so a player can use the whole set or pick out only the ones needed for a given task. The items appear as ordinary tools in survival and creative play, and they need no extra setup beyond the mod itself.
The mod is built on Fabric and requires Fabric API to run. Both the server and every player need it installed, because the environment is client and server. The author wrote it for testing and learning purposes, and the source code is public under the MIT License, so it is open source and can be read or reused under those terms. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.10, published on 2025-11-23.
The first public release came on 2025-11-22, and the last update followed one day later. Because the project is small and oriented toward learning, its scope stays limited to the gravel tool set rather than a broad tool or armor collection.

Use cases
Testing and learning
The mod was made for testing and learning purposes, so its small codebase can serve as a reference for tool items on Fabric.
Who it’s for: Players who want a gravel-themed tool set on a Fabric server or single-player world, and developers who want a short open source example of adding tool items under Fabric API.
