Toolbot

by koutsie

Toolbot is a client-side Fabric utility that switches to the correct tool automatically as a player breaks blocks.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

When a block is being broken, Toolbot picks the hotbar tool suited to the job and switches to it, then returns to the previous slot afterward. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing anything on the server side. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional. To use it, install Toolbot on the Fabric loader for 26.3. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Automatic tool switching

    The mod selects the right tool for each block as the player mines it, so no manual hotbar changes are needed.

  2. Switch-back behavior

    After the break finishes, the previously held slot is restored, so the player keeps their chosen tool.

  3. Server caution

    Automatic switching can be seen as an unfair advantage on large servers such as Hypixel, which may ban players for using it.

Questions

Does Toolbot need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Toolbot.

Does Toolbot have to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a server runs without it and players install it themselves.
