by LufatZ

Handwerk – AoE Tools, Vein Miner, Ore Variants & Building Blocks adds area-of-effect tools, vein mining and building blocks to Minecraft, with the tools following vanilla styling.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverCustom license1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

Handwerk adds a set of tools that act on more than one block at a time. A hammer and a shovel work on areas, a lumberjack axe fells a whole tree, and a prospector pickaxe mines an entire ore deposit in one action. A harvester scythe harvests and replants crops with a right click. Tool upgrades, a magnet enchantment, a Lodestar Charm pull and a Wide Reach enchantment widen what these tools affect.

The mod also adds a reforging rune that upgrades iron and gold tools to diamond while transferring enchantments, and a netherite upgrade that works through the vanilla smithing template. Ore variants, a building palette with slabs, stairs, trapdoors, lanterns and redstone chains, and terraforming tools for dirt and stone complete the content. Client and server both need the mod, and the files depend on Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin or Kotlin for Forge depending on the loader.

Key features

  1. Area-of-effect tools

    Hammers, shovels, axes and a scythe act on areas, and a vein miner removes connected ore in one pass.

  2. Terraforming shovel and hammer

    The terraformer shovel creates paths from earth-like blocks, and the hammer does the same for stone-like blocks.

  3. Reforging and netherite upgrades

    A craftable reforging rune and a vanilla-template netherite upgrade move tool progress forward.

  4. Building palette

    Ore-based rock variants with slabs, stairs, trapdoors, lanterns and redstone chains suit construction.
