ToolForme
by ANormalRaft
ToolForme lets a player temporarily transform one held tool or weapon into a stronger form, using a timer and a cooldown set in the config.
What it does
A transformed item receives a boosted damage attribute, with the multiplier set in the config. Enchantments, custom names and other data carry over to the Forme item, and when the transformation ends the item returns to its base form. The Forme item is unbreakable while it is active.
An Item Timer controls how many ticks a transformation lasts, and a Player Cooldown sets how many ticks pass before the player can activate the ability again. Only one item can be transformed at a time, and the Item Timer is shown behind the transformed item as a depleting bar, with the hotbar indicating when it returns to base form. The timers are stored with the player, so they survive a disconnect.
The mod is inspired by the state mechanic found in some video games and is meant for use with tools and weapons. Its bindings handle item IDs only, so items that depend on data components are not supported. The default config values are kept low for demonstration purposes, and the Scaling option controls whether the mod's intended scaling formula is applied to the damage attribute.
Key features
Timed transformation
A held tool or weapon becomes its Forme form for a set number of ticks, then reverts to its base item.
Damage boost
The Forme form multiplies the base item's damage attribute, with a configurable multiplier.
Cooldown and timer display
A player cooldown limits how often the ability can be used, and a depleting timer appears behind the transformed item.
Data preserved
Enchantments and custom names move from the base item to the Forme item and back again.

What the author says
(Here, the Item Timer and Player Cooldown values have been vastly reduced from the default for demonstrative purposes) A depleting timer called the Item Timer will appear behind the transformed item (itself, called the Forme item) in the hotbar to indicate when the Forme Item will transform back to its base form.
