Morphing Multi-Tool

by Munchy907

Morphing Multi-Tool is a Forge technology mod for 1.12.2 in which one tool changes its form to match the block a player is looking at.

What it does

Right-clicking a block with the tool morphs it into the tool class that block requires, so the correct harvest tool appears without an inventory swap. Tools that are right-clicked on machines, such as wrenches, are morphed as well. Picking up the multi-tool while it is morphed into another tool changes it back, and dropping it does the same.

The tool holds only one tool class at a time, so it cannot act as two pickaxes or two spades. Modded tools that share a class with vanilla tools, such as hammers and pickaxe excavators, are recognized, and tools with their own class, such as the Thermal Expansion shovel and sickle, work like normal tools. Modded tools with no class can be added to the morph list. The mod is credited to Munchy907 and asks players to refer to it as Morph-O-Tool.

Morphing Multi-Tool is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, in a single build, 1.0.0 for 1.12.2, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Morph by looking at a block

    The tool takes the form needed to harvest the block the player is looking at.

  2. Right-click morphing

    Right-clicking a tool-using machine such as a wrench switches the tool into the matching class.

  3. Modded tool classes

    Tools from other mods join the morph by their tool class, including tools that have no class of their own.

  4. Looking-based axe swap

    Looking at grass, tall grass or flowers switches the tool to an axe, though a known speed bug affects axe destroy speed on some blocks.

Use cases

Technology modpacks

Packs with many machine blocks and modded tools can use one item where several tools would otherwise be carried.

Who it’s for: Players of Forge 1.12.2 modpacks who carry many tools and want a single item that changes form. Modpack builders who add tool-using machines can check how the morph handles their tool classes.

Questions

Forge for 1.12.2 only. The latest file is 1.0.0, published on 2025-08-19.
