Multitool

by PuckiSilver

Multitool is a server-required tool mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt that merges several tool types into one item made from a single material.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 1.21.10

What it does

A Multitool is crafted by combining four tool types made from one material in the crafting grid. Once made, it switches to the tool suited to the block being looked at: an axe for logs, a shovel for paths, a hoe for tillable blocks, and so on. Sneaking while looking at a tillable block makes it swap to a hoe and create fresh farmland.

The mod is server-required, so the server has to run it, while players may add it to their clients. Its behavior can be tuned through a config.yml file, where material lists can be added or removed and mods whose tools are not switching correctly can be overwritten. Multitool also works with resource packs, so a texture swap can change how the tool appears, including turning it into a halberd. Builds cover 1.17 – 1.21.10 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is available for servers that do not run the mod's loader. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Combined tool crafting

    Four tool types of one material fill a crafting grid to produce a single multitool.

  2. Block-based tool switching

    Looking at a block selects the matching tool, such as an axe for logs or a shovel for paths.

  3. Tillable block handling

    Sneaking while looking at a tillable block swaps the item to a hoe that creates farmland.

  4. Enchantment support

    Enchantments normally placed on a tool can be applied to the multitool.

  5. Configurable materials

    A config.yml file lets server owners add or remove materials and overwrite tools from other mods.

Can Multitool be used without a mod loader?
