Tool Memory

A Minecraft Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that makes your tools remember their experience. The more you use a tool for a specific task, the better it gets at that task!

Features

Mining Experience

Your pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes gain experience for each type of block they mine:

Level 1 (100 blocks): +20% mining speed for that block type
Level 2 (500 blocks): +40% mining speed for that block type
Level 3 (1000 blocks): +60% mining speed for that block type

Combat Experience

Your swords track kills for each type of mob:

Level 1 (50 kills): +1 damage against that mob type
Level 2 (150 kills): +2 damage against that mob type
Level 3 (300 kills): +3 damage against that mob type

Experience Tracking

XP is stored per individual tool, not globally
Each tool remembers its own experience separately
View your tool's XP and bonuses in the item tooltip
Maximum of 3 levels per material/mob type

How It Works

Mining: Every time you break a block with a mining tool (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe), the tool gains 1 XP for that specific block type
Combat: Every time you kill a mob with a sword, the sword gains 1 XP for that specific mob type
Bonuses: Once you reach the XP thresholds, your tools automatically become more effective
Tooltips: Hover over your tool to see accumulated XP and current bonuses

Example

If you mine 100 stone blocks with a diamond pickaxe:

The pickaxe gains "Stone: 100 XP (Level 1)"
Mining stone with this pickaxe is now 20% faster
Mining other blocks is unaffected until you mine 100 of them too

If you kill 50 zombies with an iron sword:

The sword gains "Zombie: 50 kills (Level 1)"
This sword now deals +1 extra damage to zombies
Damage against other mobs is unaffected
