      • 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
