Tools of the Apocalypse
by LutherDev
Tools of the Apocalypse, from LutherDev, adds melee tools and weapons for Fabric that suit zombie and survival adventures.
What it does
Tools of the Apocalypse adds a set of melee tools and weapons in three tiers, including a scrap pickaxe, scrap hatchet, scrap crowbar, tactical pickaxe, tactical hatchet, tactical crowbar and tactical fireaxe. The tools are intended to pair with the Urban Weaponry mod and the Gun x Zombie Apocalypse modpack, and the mod's Zombie, Parasite and Sculk invasion themes frame its adventure content.
Tier 1 tools can be found in village armorer chests, tier 2 tools in monster room dungeon chests and tier 3 tools in stronghold chests. A spiked baseball bat is crafted from a few flint and iron pieces and deals more damage while keeping higher durability. The author states that the gear can replace vanilla picks, axes and swords up to a little past gold, though it is not built to fit vanilla progression without careful pack design.
Client and server means both the server and every player need the mod. Better Combat is an optional dependency with built-in compatibility, and the author recommends running it alongside the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file released on 2024-12-21. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code is public.
Key features
Scrap and tactical tool sets

Spiked baseball bat

Three loot tiers

Vanilla loot table injection
Some vanilla loot tables already include the mod's gear, and modpack developers can adjust them to place the tools in other locations.
