Transgressive
by Parnich
Transgressive is a small Parnich mod that adds a metamorphosis tool, which turns into one of five instruments on demand.
What it does
Crafting transgressive energy requires diamonds, a Nether Star and a handful of other rare materials. The energy feeds a multitool that can switch between its instrument forms. Holding the instrument and pressing R opens the key settings after the menu appears, where the switch key can be changed.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge; the 1.0.0 builds target 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Metamorphosis tool
A single tool changes into one of five instruments, so the player carries one item instead of several.
Transgressive energy
Diamonds and a Nether Star, together with other rare items, produce the energy that drives the tool's transformations.
Adjustable switch key
The key that changes the tool's form can be reassigned in the controls settings after the menu opens.

What the author says
While holding the instrument in your hands, press R (_you can change the keys in the settings_), after that a menu opens in which you can select the instrument that the tool will become.
