Trowel

A mod that ports over the Trowel from the Minecraft 'Trowel' mod!

Trowel

A simple yet handy tool for builders! The Trowel randomly places blocks from your hotbar when you right-click, making organic builds and varied terrain a breeze.

What does it do?

When you use the Trowel (right-click), it will:

  • Randomly select a block from your hotbar
  • Place it on the surface you're looking at
  • Skip over tools, weapons, food, ingredients, and other non-block items

Perfect for creating natural-looking paths, walls, or any build where you want randomized block variety without constantly swapping items.

Features

  • Random block selection from your hotbar
  • Creative mode support - blocks aren't consumed in creative
  • Smart item filtering - automatically ignores tools, weapons, crafting stations, and other non-placeable items
  • Durability system - 500 uses before it breaks

Crafting Recipe

Crafted at a Workbench (Tools category):

  • 4x Iron Ingot
  • 2x Light Leather
  • 1x Linen Scrap

Important Note

Block placement direction is currently based on player position relative to the target block rather than the exact face you're looking at. This is because block face detection data is only available client-side in Hytale and cannot be accessed by server-side mods at this time.

This means it may take a little getting used to - the block will be placed on the face closest to where you're standing. Once client-side modding becomes accessible, this will be updated to use precise face detection.

Will ALSO be updating the model/texture soon probably as its pretty trash. I am still learning how to make models for this game lol.

Inspired By

This mod is inspired by the Trowel mod from Minecraft.
