Practical Tools Practiced
by rudolph15
Practical Tools Practiced adds tools with special mining and felling behavior, such as a greataxe that can fell entire trees in one swing.
What it does
Tools added by the mod break stone-like and dirt-like blocks across a 3x3 area: stone-like blocks are broken across the area, dirt-like blocks are dug across it, and the greataxe fells a whole tree at once, leaves included. Breaking in the area is set so the tool breaks only what its tool type and tier allow. Sneaking is required to use the 3x3 tools and the greataxe's tree felling. Felling can be limited to connected blocks, and the behavior is set in the config file, which can be opened from Mod Menu.
Hammers can drop an extra ore with a 25% chance when mined with Silk Touch, and the tools are compatible with most enchantments on ores. Smithing table repair uses the matching ingot. With Advanced Netherite installed, the tools gain iron, gold, emerald, diamond and netherite versions. Compatibility with Poly's Juicy Ores adds 3D models and textures, and some item IDs changed in older versions, so worlds should be backed up before an update.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Both the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. Files target 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and cover the versions 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
