Wooden Tool Variants
by .subaka
Wooden Tool Variants adds a wooden tool set for each wood type, so swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes and spears can be crafted from Dark Oak or Pale Oak planks.
What it does
Vanilla provides one generic wooden tool set. Instead of one generic set, the mod gives each wood type its own sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and spear, every one with a distinct texture and a recipe built from that wood's planks. Dark Oak and Pale Oak are named among the added types, so a world gains tools that look and craft differently by material.
Wooden tools from the mod burn as furnace fuel, the same way vanilla wooden tools do, and flammable wood variants work the same way. Crimson and Warped wood are excluded because they match the fire-resistant nether woods. The mod needs Quad, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source. It runs on client and server, and files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across the game versions 1.20 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric file for 26.2.
Key features
Wood-specific tool sets
Each wood type gets its own sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and spear instead of one shared wooden set.
Matching crafting recipes
Each variant is crafted from the planks of its own wood, so the recipe follows the material.
Furnace fuel behavior
Flammable wood variants act as furnace fuel, like the vanilla wooden tools they extend.
Fire-resistant wood excluded
Crimson and Warped variants are left out, matching the fire-resistant nether woods.
