Multitools Enhanced

by spigbop

Multitools Enhanced combines the pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe into one tool, so a single item does the work of four in the inventory.

What it does

The combined multitool is a new tool type that merges the primary tools into one item, which saves inventory space. Because a combined tool is weaker than the separate tools, durability is halved, and the balance can be adjusted in the config. Multitools come in four materials: netherite, diamond, gold and iron.

Crafting starts with a multitool handle made at a smithing table by applying a copper ingot and leather. From version 1.20 on, the handle is crafted at a crafting table instead. The handle is then combined with tools of the chosen material to produce a multitool, and upgrading a diamond multitool to netherite is supported. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.4 across six release versions, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Installation needs Cloth Config API only if its configuration screen is wanted, since it is optional. Multitools Enhanced runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Public links cover the source code.

Key features

  1. One tool, four jobs

    A multitool performs the work of a pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, switching by the block being mined.

  2. Configurable durability

    The durability penalty for combined tools can be changed in the config to suit the desired balance.

  3. Four material tiers

    Multitools exist in netherite, diamond, gold and iron, each made from a handle and a matching tool.

  4. Vanilla right-click actions

    Axe right-click actions such as stripping logs, deoxidizing copper and unwaxing work with the multitool.

  5. Shovel and hoe interactions

    Right-clicking a dirt block creates a path, and tilling the ground is done by holding the crouch key while right-clicking.

How it compares

Full comparison

Only Paxels adds paxel tools and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. V-Paxel's is open source under the MIT License for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.20.5 – 26.3, but it is server required with the client optional, so Multitools Enhanced differs in environment. Simple Multitools is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

How is a multitool crafted?

A copper ingot and leather are applied at a smithing table to make a multitool handle, then the handle is combined with a tool of the chosen material. From 1.20 the handle uses a crafting table.
