- customTools
- Add custom tool-configurations in JSON format (e.g. customTools={"minecraft:block_id":"minecraft:tool_id"} or customBlocks={"minecraft:block_id":["minecraft:tool_id_1", "minecraft:tool_id_2"]})
- Note: On Forge and NeoForge you have the use customTools="{\"minecraft:block_id\":\"minecraft: tool_id\"}"
- When adding multiple tools, the first one has the highest priority There are also pre-define lists for tool groups: autotools:pickaxe, autotools:axe, autotools:shovel, autotools:hoe, autotools:sword
- To completely disable AutoTools for a block use: "autotools:disabled"
- This works on both blocks and entities (e.g. "minecraft:stone" or "minecraft:sheep")
Compatability
There is a version available for the Forge, NeoForge and Fabric mod loader (ModMenu integration when using the Fabric version)
AutoTools is entirely client-side and works on servers and with many third-party mods.
For Developers:
Tools: Should implement Item.isCorrectToolForDrops(BlockState) and Item.getDestroySpeed(Item, BlockState). Additionally, Blocks should correctly implement requiresCorrectToolForDrops
Weapons: Items need their attack damage (and attack speed) stored as AttributeModifiers
