WoolTool
by joel.trauger
WoolTool adds wool and leather tools and crafting recipes for Fabric, and players who repair leather armor use it for a cheaper repair route.
What it does
The mod adds new tools built around wool and leather. Its crafting recipes let players repair leather armor with wool more efficiently, and the leather armor crafting recipes can be used directly. A Sewing Kit is among the new items; it is used by right-clicking the leather armor while holding it. Repairing damaged leather armor restores 25% durability, and the leather repairs the mod requires are part of this feature set.
WoolTool is a Fabric mod for game version 1.21.5 only, with the latest file 1.0.1 for 1.21.5, published on 2025-05-30. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The source code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the code in the public domain and makes the mod open source. Public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
