Style Over Virtue
by Galeboy
Style Over Virtue is a data pack for Minecraft tools that lets wooden and stone tools take the look of other wood types and stone materials.
What it does
Installed as a data pack, it gives the vanilla tool recipes extra variants. Players craft tools from materials such as Dark Oak, Flowered Cherry, endstone and sandstone, changing how the tools look while the tool work stays the same.
The pack also includes a few secret tools that can be found through experimentation, and it adds some other crafting table recipes that make tools from different materials. Toolsets such as these are part of the early beta, and the author plans to add more.
The server needs the data pack to run it, while players can add it to their own copy of the game but do not have to. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt under All rights reserved, and its only release line is 1.19 – 1.20.1, with 1.20.1 as the latest file.
