Vanilla Shears

by Apis035

Vanilla Shears adds wooden, stone, golden, diamond and netherite shears, each crafted from the matching vanilla tool material.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.1

What it does

Each new pair follows the same recipe pattern as the iron shears, so a player swaps the ingredient and keeps the layout. Wooden shears use wooden planks, stone shears use cobblestone, golden shears use a gold ingot, diamond shears use a diamond and netherite shears use a netherite ingot.

Durability follows the usual rule for other tools made from those materials, reduced by 12. The mod is written for Fabric and is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.18.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The author notes that work is not yet complete and asks players to report issues on GitHub, where the source code and issue tracker are public.

Installation needs only Fabric and the mod itself, with no other mod listed as a requirement. The first file was published on 2022-01-10 and the latest, 1.0.0 for 1.18.1, on 2022-01-26.

Key features

  1. Wooden shears

    Shears made from wooden planks, crafted in the same pattern as iron shears.

  2. Stone and golden shears

    Cobblestone and gold ingots produce stone and golden shears with the same shape.

  3. Diamond and netherite shears

    Diamond and netherite shears extend the tiers up to the strongest vanilla tool material.

  4. Matched durability

    Each pair lasts as long as other tools made from the same material, minus 12 uses.
