Utilities on a Stick
by Quarris
Utilities on a Stick turns a plain stick into a set of tools, each one activated by right-clicking a specific block or creature while holding it.
What it does
Each utility stick is crafted once and then works on a target. Holding a stick and sneak-clicking a crafting table produces a stick that opens a crafting grid whenever it is used, which means no block has to be placed to craft. Right-clicking a cat with a stick gives a cat stick, and another stick can scare creepers away. The mod adds more sticks over time, and its description notes that each new stick extends the set of utilities.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is published as a single build, 2.0.0 for 1.20.1. It needs to be installed on the client and the server, so both sides must run it. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source, and the source code and issue tracker are linked from its public pages.
