HTools
by Hotiovip
HTools is a Fabric equipment mod with hybrid pickaxes that combine the strengths of several materials, ending in a pickaxe that mines whole ore veins with one swing.
What it does
Hybrid pickaxes are built by combining ingots. Diamond and gold ingots merge into Diamond-Gold Ingots, and those combine with netherite into Netherite-Diamond-Gold Ingots. Each step produces a pickaxe that keeps part of the mining speed of gold and part of the durability of the harder material.
The tools progress through three tiers: the Diamond-Plated Golden Pickaxe, the Netherite-Diamond-Plated Golden Pickaxe, and the Vein Miner Pickaxe. The final pickaxe mines an entire connected ore vein in one swing. The Vein Miner System is gated behind smithing templates found in Bastion Treasures, so the upgrades depend on exploring those structures.
The mod is built on Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with a single Fabric file, 1.0.0, published 2026-02-12. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.

How it compares
Rose Gold is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, and it is not open source; it adds rose gold tools rather than hybrid pickaxes. Simple Ore Vein Miner is also Client and server and MIT licensed for 1.21.4 – 26.2, offering vein mining without the hybrid crafting path. Obsidian Equipment Reworked covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is open source, so it can be read and changed in its source.
