Toolsmith Sharper
by SamLol12
Toolsmith Sharper lets players coat weapons and tools with oils, such as fire, poison and life steal, which apply temporary effects when used.
What it does
Sharpening a tool with oil gives it a temporary effect. To apply a coating, a player crouches and right-clicks a grindstone while holding the tool in the main hand and a Flint Oil in the off hand. Sharpening also repairs 10% of the item's durability, a value the server can configure. The tool needs at least 20% durability left and costs 1 experience level to sharpen.
Environment changes how oils wear. Water and rain can wash away fire and poison oils, while extreme heat, deserts, the Nether and savannas make frost oil melt faster. Poison coatings stay effective for longer in swamps and jungles, frost coatings persist in cold biomes, and oil wear slows during the night. A portable crafted item carries bonuses while the player travels.
The mod depends on Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. It runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 and 1.21.11, and the server and every player need it, so both sides must run it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Oil coatings
Oils such as fire, poison and life steal add temporary effects to weapons and tools when they are sharpened.
Preventive maintenance
Sharpening repairs a configurable share of durability, and tools must keep enough durability to be worked on.
Environmental wear
Biomes, weather and time of day change how quickly each oil wears away, so the choice of coating depends on where the player works.
Portable sharpening kit
A crafted item the player carries applies the bonuses while traveling, without a grindstone.
