AutoTools looks through your whole inventory and finds the best tool to mine a block or attack a mob. The tool is determined by mining speed, mining level, enchantments, and the DPS. the Mod features a high level of customisation with many config options. For blocks where SilkTouch is preferred see silk_touch.json and for Fortune fortune.json. Shears will always pre preferred for shears.json

      • 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
