Stick Gear
by teboplays
Stick Gear lets players craft weak tools from sticks, giving a starting toolset before better materials are found.
What it does
Sticks gain more uses in this NeoForge mod for 1.21.8, so players can craft simple tools from them early in a survival world. The tools are meant for the first stage of play, before players have stone, iron or other materials.
Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too. It is published only for NeoForge 1.21.8, released 2026-03-06, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
This mod adds Stick Gear to Minecraft, which adds more uses for Sticks, for example, being able to craft tools out of sticks. Which could be useful for players who would like a very VERY early toolset/starting out tools, which could improve the gameplay based on the player who plays it.
