Skill Tools

Unlock powerful abilities for your pickaxe, axe, shovel and sword by completing challenges. Open the menu with your tool in hand, toggle abilities on and off, and track your progress.
Turn your everyday tools into powerful gear. Mine, chop, dig and fight as you normally would, and every challenge you complete unlocks a new ability for that tool.
How it works
Hold a pickaxe, axe, shovel or sword, sneak and use the item (right-click on PC, press and hold on mobile) while aiming at the air. A menu opens where you can:
See which abilities you have unlocked Turn each ability on or off with a tap Check your progress on locked abilities (for example, “Mine ores: 12/40”)
You play normally the rest of the time. The menu only opens when you sneak and use the tool. Progress is saved per player.

It imports automatically. Create or edit a world and open Behavior Packs. Activate Tool Evolution. The language Resource Pack should activate with it; if it doesn’t, activate it manually, otherwise menu text may show as raw keys like mdo.title. Enter the world, then sneak and use a tool to open the menu. Notes Requires Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.21.80 or newer. Works on Windows, mobile and consoles that support add-ons. Timber follows connected logs (up to 80 per use), so it can also cut logs that are part of nearby builds. Feedback
