Tooling
by Leoacer20
Tooling, by Leoacer20, adds a glowing brick block for building lit structures without torches, along with planned tools and decorative blocks.
What it does
The mod introduces one new block so far, Glowbrick, a luminous version of brick that lights a room while keeping the look of a traditional brick wall. The stated direction is to add items that vanilla Minecraft lacks, while decorative and functional blocks, tool tiers with distinct abilities, and broader crafting recipes are described as upcoming work rather than features of the current release.
Files target 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, published for Forge and NeoForge. Both server and players need the mod, because it is client and server. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Planned crafting expansion
Expanded crafting recipes are part of the planned content, meant to support gameplay progression.
Feedback on future content
The project is still in active development, and the author asks for feedback to shape the blocks and tools that come next.
