Workhand Tool

v1.21.1 - Kennestroyer Tools, Full Recipe Book & Fixes

This is the first CurseForge update since v1.19.0, so it bundles everything from v1.20.0 and v1.21.0 together with this version's fixes.

Feature

• Kennestroyer Ultimate Tools: added Kennestroyer Pickaxe and Kennestroyer Shovel — the ultimate tools with 5 mining/digging modes cycled via right-click:
  • Disabled: No area mining
  • Range 3 Flat: 3x3x1 (single layer)
  • Range 3 Cubic: 3x3x3
  • Range 5 Flat: 5x5x1 (single layer)
  • Range 5 Cubic: 5x5x5
• Kennestroyer Pickaxe includes Vein Mining: breaks up to 128 connected ores of the same type automatically
• New tool material: KENNESTROYER (50,000 durability, 12.0 speed, +4 attack, 15 enchantability, repaired with Netherite Ingots)
• Crafting recipes: both tools crafted from Netherite Ingots, Diamond Blocks, Obsidian, and the top-tier Diamond Workhand tools
• Vellumli is now a required dependency: the mod will fail to load with a clear error message if Vellumli is not installed, so the in-game guide book is always available
• Complete recipe integration in the guide book: every tool and utility item has its crafting recipe displayed directly in the guide book using the native vellumli:crafting page type — no need for JEI to see recipes

Content

• Guide book now covers every tool line with recipe pages, controls, stats and mechanic descriptions, fully translated in English (en_us) and Spanish (es_es):
  • Pickaxes: 18 recipes (Stone/Iron/Diamond × all grades 1-4 + improved variants)
  • Shovels: 12 recipes (Stone/Iron/Diamond × all grades 1-4)
  • Axes: 2 recipes (Iron, Diamond)
  • Hoes: 2 recipes (Iron, Diamond)
  • Vein-Mining Pickaxes: 4 recipes (Improved Iron/Diamond, Advanced + Professional)
  • Kennestroyer Pickaxe & Shovel: full mode descriptions, controls, stats and crafting recipes
  • Utility Items: 5 recipes (Tape Measure, Robust Stick, Chunk Anchor, Anchor Tome, Guide Book)

Fix

• Compound tree felling was clearing adjacent trees: the axe's Compound felling mode could cross leaf gaps with no limit, letting it jump from one tree's canopy into a neighboring tree of the same wood type and fell it too. It's now capped to 2 consecutive leaf blocks — enough to cross a diagonal branch or offset canopy within the same tree, not enough to reach a separately planted tree nearby.
• Chunk Anchor border was visible from unlimited distance: in the default "Always" border mode, the corner-outline indicator ignored the client's actual render distance, so the tall corner lines stayed visible far beyond where anything else would render. Now capped to the player's effective render distance.
• Guide book had two corrupted entries: the Pickaxes and Shovels entries (English and Spanish) contained invalid JSON that could fail to load. Fixed and split into separate entries.
• Guide book recipe grade labels were swapped: Advanced/Expert grade numbers were exchanged on several pickaxe and shovel recipe pages, and Advanced/Professional were swapped on Vein-Mining Pickaxe pages. Corrected across both languages.

Change

• Vellumli dependency changed from optional to required in neoforge.mods.toml
