Simple AutoTool

Simple AutoTool Mod

A client-side Minecraft Fabric mod for version 1.21.4 that automatically switches to the best tool in your inventory when mining blocks.

Features

• **Automatic Tool Switching**: Detects the block you're targeting and automatically selects the most effective tool from your hotbar
• **Smart Detection**: Recognizes different block types and matches them with appropriate tools:
• Pickaxe for stone, ores, and other hard blocks
• Axe for wood and wooden materials
• Shovel for dirt, sand, gravel, and similar blocks
• Hoe for farmland and plant-based blocks
• **Manual Override**: Hold Shift (sneak) to disable auto-switching and maintain manual control
• **Toggle Functionality**: Press R (configurable) to enable/disable the mod with on-screen feedback
• **Client-Side Only**: Works on any server without requiring server-side installation
• **Hotbar Only**: Only switches between tools in your hotbar (slots 0-8)

Installation

**Download and Install**:

• Download the latest release from the releases page
• Place the .jar file in your mods folder
• Launch Minecraft with the Fabric profile

Usage

1. **Install the mod** and launch Minecraft
2. **Join any world** (singleplayer or multiplayer)
3. **Look at a block** you want to mine
4. The mod will **automatically switch** to the best tool in your hotbar
5. **Hold Shift** to temporarily disable auto-switching
6. **Press G** to toggle the mod on/off (you'll see a chat message confirming the status)

Configuration

• **Toggle Key**: The default key to toggle the mod is G. You can change this in Minecraft's Controls settings under the "AutoTool" category.

How It Works

1. **Block Detection**: The mod continuously monitors what block you're looking at
2. **Tool Analysis**: It checks all items in your hotbar and calculates their mining efficiency for the target block
3. **Smart Switching**: It switches to the tool with the highest mining speed multiplier
4. **Respect Player Intent**: It won't switch when you're sneaking, allowing for manual control

Compatibility

• **Minecraft Version**: 1.21.4
• **Mod Loader**: Fabric
• **Side**: Client-side only
• **Server Compatibility**: Works on any server (Vanilla, Fabric, Paper, etc.)
• **Other Mods**: Should be compatible with most other mods

Technical Details

• **Language**: Java 21
• **Framework**: Fabric API
• **Architecture**: Event-driven with client tick events
• **Performance**: Lightweight with minimal performance impact

Troubleshooting

**Mod not working?**

• Ensure you have Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed
• Check that you're using Minecraft 1.21.4
• Verify the mod is enabled (press G to toggle)

**Tools not switching?**

• Make sure you're not sneaking (holding Shift)
• Ensure the correct tool is in your hotbar (slots 0-8)
