More Vanilla Tools
More Vanilla Tools adds hammers, great axes, knives and maces for iron, gold, diamond and netherite, along with bronze and steel materials, for players who want more tools in survival worlds.
What it does
The mod adds four new tool types, crafted from iron, gold, diamond and netherite, and each needs a tool handle as an ingredient. Bronze armor and bronze ingot recipes join the set, and a smithing table recipe lets players upgrade iron tools with a steel ingot.
Each tool has its own role. A hammer hits as hard as a sword and mines faster, with extra knockback. A great axe chops faster and deals more damage at a slower attack speed, while a knife swings quickly for low damage. A mace hits as hard as a sword and applies slowness to mobs. Smelting bronze or steel tools returns iron nuggets instead of the material used to craft them.
More Vanilla Tools is a Forge and Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, released under the MIT License. It runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. The Fabric and Forge files were both published on 2024-04-16, with version 1.1.1 as the latest build.
