Too Many Tools
by Cry-Hot
Too Many Tools adds 49 full tool sets and 29 armour sets to Fabric 1.19.2, each tool and armour with its own abilities and drawbacks.
What it does
The tool sets cover pickaxe, axe, hoe, shovel and sword, and they arrive in stages across the game: early tools made of sand have limited effect, while tools that replace diamond appear late. Most tools and armours carry special abilities that set them apart from vanilla equipment, and those abilities can be both helpful and harmful. Each item also differs in its stats, such as protection and how fast it swings or digs.
Several ability families change how tools behave. Some refund their material cost when they break, others transform into a tool of the same material when left at 1 durability, and some grant experience on attacks or block breaks. Armours can drop experience instead of taking hurt. Glass Cannon sets reduce health to 1 while equipped, and the wearer is killed by any damage that would otherwise land. Aquatic gear grants water breathing, while Lively items regenerate durability over time.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.19.2, and the latest file is 1.0.0. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Works with silk touch and fortune are mentioned in the author text.
Key features
Staged tool sets
Pickaxe, axe, hoe, shovel and sword sets appear across the early, mid and late game.
Enchantment-bearing gear
Spellbound tools and armour start with a few free enchantments and gain more when held or equipped.
Volatile and ignitable items
Volatile tools explode when they destroy the resource or mob they hit, while volatile armour explodes with a larger radius when hit. Explosions harm only mobs and players.
Fire-based abilities
Ignitable tools apply fire effects and set things on fire, and ignited tools auto-smelt blocks they break.
