Simple dirt tools

by ghostzeets22

Simple Dirt Tools is a Fabric equipment mod that gives players a set of dirt-themed tools for the early game, built as a light joke rather than a serious progression path.

FabricClient and serverMIT License26.1.2

What it does

Four tools are added: a sword, a pickaxe, a shovel and an axe, all made from dirt and each meant for one kind of task. The sword is for combat, the pickaxe breaks stone, the shovel digs dirt and the axe chops wood. Every tool has its own crafting recipe, so the items are made at a crafting table from dirt-based ingredients rather than found as loot.

The mod is built for early-game play and works as a meme item set for players who want a short, silly challenge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2026-08-04 under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Dirt sword

    A sword made from compacted earth, meant for light combat in the first stage of a world.

  2. Dirt pickaxe

    A pickaxe that is weak against stone, so breaking rock with it is a deliberate joke rather than a practical choice.

  3. Dirt shovel and axe

    A shovel for digging dirt and an axe for chopping wood, each crafted from dirt with its own recipe.

  4. Custom crafting recipes

    Each dirt tool uses a recipe of its own instead of a standard tool pattern, so the set is crafted on its own terms.
