Ranutils
by maax_0
Ranutils is a NeoForge utility mod for 1.21.1 that adds paxels, tools combining several vanilla tool functions in one item, plus two infinite source blocks.
What it does
Paxels combine axe and pickaxe functionality in a single item, so a player can work through many different block types without switching tools. Ranutils adds a paxel for each main vanilla tool tier, from wooden through netherite. A netherite paxel is made by a smithing upgrade that uses a diamond paxel as its base item, and paxels also have their own crafting recipes.
The mod also adds two infinite source blocks, which supply a matching fluid without limit. Builders can use them in pipe networks, farms and other constructions. The author describes the additions as focused on everyday mechanics, leaving the core game largely unchanged.
Ranutils requires NeoForge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published only for 1.21.1, with version 0.1.0 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Paxels for each tool tier
Wooden, stone, golden, iron, diamond and netherite paxels are added, each one covering axe and pickaxe work.
Combined axe and pickaxe use
One paxel handles chopping and mining, so switching between separate tools is not needed while working.
Netherite paxel upgrade
The netherite paxel is produced by a smithing upgrade applied to a diamond paxel.
Infinite source blocks
Two blocks supply their matching fluid without limit, for use in pipes, farms and other builds.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Mining and chopping in one tool
Players who move between stone, ore and wood can keep one paxel in hand for all of it.
Automation and farms
The infinite source blocks can feed fluid into automated setups and farm designs.
Who it’s for: Players who want a single tool for mining and chopping, and builders who need a steady fluid supply for technical or farm builds on NeoForge 1.21.1.
