Resource Cracker/Tools

by Morthen

Resource Cracker/Tools adds crack hammers, a chisel, a scythe and extra recipes that change how vanilla ores, crops and mobs drop materials.

What it does

Crack hammers crush vanilla ores into dust and can double the yield, while a chisel scratches saltpeter bricks and blocks. A scythe harvests crops much faster than hand tools. Garlic drops from zombies, smelts into an additional food item and can yield sulfur. New recipes craft gunpowder from sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, craft slimeballs from honeycomb, cactus, green dye and saltpeter, and produce leather from smelting or blasting rotten flesh.

The mod is a successor to Resource Tools by kwpugh, which the author drew on heavily. The author built a separate mod with similar blocks, items and features and added some new content. It requires Fabric API, Resource Config API and Resource Library, with Mod Menu as an optional addition. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.

What the author says

At first this Mod is heavily inspired by Resource Tools by kwpugh. Because he was on break, i decided to create my own Mod with similar Blocks/Items/Features and some additions i had in mind.
