About this project

Never stop mining to search for the right tool again.

Features

* Automatically selects the optimal tool for the block being mined.
* Returns to your original hotbar slot after mining.

* Supports pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, and shears.
* Intelligent enchantment handling:

* Prefers Silk Touch over Fortune.
* Considers Efficiency levels.
