Wooden Shears

by cech12

Wooden Shears lets players craft shears from planks, a cheaper tool than the iron version found in vanilla Minecraft.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds a Wooden Shears item to the game, craftable from planks, and it works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Its durability is 50, and that value is configurable from mod version 1.2.0.0 onward. Cloth Config API is required on every loader, and Fabric API is required on Fabric and Quilt. Mod Menu is optional. Both sides need the mod, so the server and every player install it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with 29 release versions covering 1.16.5 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Plank crafting recipe

    Shears can be made from planks, so early-game players get a cutting tool without iron.

  2. Low durability

    The tool breaks after 50 uses by default, and the limit is adjustable in the config.

  3. Configurable durability

    Server owners and players can change the durability value, available from mod version 1.2.0.0.
