Description
GregTech Maintenance Toolbox
Keep your GregTech tools organized and ready to use. This addon introduces an eight-slot toolbox with a radial tool selector, animated model, and maintenance hatch integration.
Features
- Eight tool slots for wrenches, screwdrivers, soft mallets, hammers, wire cutters, crowbars, saws, and files.
- Radial tool selection: hold Left Alt, point at a tool, and release to equip it.
- Quick storage: select an empty wheel slot while holding a tool to place it inside.
- Return All: collect supported tools from your hands and inventory into available toolbox slots.
- Maintenance hatch support: click the hatch’s standard maintenance gear to use suitable stored tools. Normal GregTech durability wear applies.
- Crafting integration: use the toolbox in supported recipes that require GregTech crafting tools.
- Placeable toolbox: set it on the ground and access its tools within a configurable radius—16 blocks by default.
- Easy collection: Shift-right-click a placed toolbox with an empty hand to pick it up with its contents.
- Sixteen dye colors: recolor your toolbox through crafting or a GregTech chemical bath using 144 mB of liquid dye.
- Contents preview: hold Shift while hovering over the toolbox in your inventory.
- Customizable controls and sounds: rebind the wheel key and independently toggle lid sounds and tool sounds.
- English and Russian translations.

- Forge 47.4.13 or newer within Forge 47
- Java 17

Install this addon on both the client and server.
Tested with GregTech CEu Modern 7.5.3. The mod accepts newer GregTech versions, but their compatibility has not been verified. This release does not support Fabric or NeoForge.
TerraFirmaGreg Support
TerraFirmaGreg is optional. When TFG is installed, the toolbox recipe uses wrought-iron sheets; otherwise, it uses wrought-iron plates. Check your recipe viewer for the active recipe.
Create is not required.
Configuration
Open Mods → GregTech Maintenance Toolbox → Config to adjust the wheel binding and sound settings.
The placed-toolbox access radius can be configured through placedToolboxRange in the world’s serverconfig/maintenance_toolbox-server.toml. The default is 16 blocks, with a supported range of 1–64.

Bundled sound effects are derived from rubberduck’s 100 CC0 Metal and Wood SFX. Tool hover sounds use the installed GregTech sound resources. The toolbox features an original model and an AI-assisted metal texture.
