Primitive Small Tools
by moaicheeks
Primitive Small Tools adds a set of hand-craftable tools, including chisels, daggers and a compacter, that fill in the early game for Fabric players on 26.1.2.
What it does
Most of the added tools can be crafted without a crafting table. The steel chisel is built from nine chipped stones, which become a rock, and the compacter is assembled from six rocks on top of a stick. A left click on iron ore with the compacter yields compacted iron, which combined with a stick produces the steel chisel. Fabric API must be installed alongside it. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for Fabric only, with 1.0.1 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, released on 2026-07-11, and it is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Crafting without a table
Most of the small tools are made from plain materials in the inventory grid, so early progress needs no workbench.
Compacter and steel chisel
The compacter turns iron ore into compacted iron, and that material, joined with a stick, forms the steel chisel.
Chisels and daggers
Chisels and daggers are added as stone-age tools, with upgraded versions that reach the most advanced tier of the set.
