About this project
What does BTPlus add?
⚔️ Better Tools Plus
Better Tools Plus is a Minecraft quality-of-life mod designed to make combat, mining and everyday survival more convenient, informative and enjoyable — while keeping the original Minecraft experience intact.
⚔️ Smart Combat
Enable the Attack Cooldown Restriction to prevent attacking with a sword or axe before its attack cooldown is fully recovered. This prevents accidental spam-clicking and makes combat feel much cleaner and more consistent.
🪓 Automatic Axe Selection
Have an axe somewhere in your 9-slot hotbar? When you start breaking a suitable wooden block while holding your hand or another item, Better Tools Plus can automatically switch to your axe. No more manually switching tools every time you chop a tree!
⛏️ Better Mining HUD
Get useful information about the block you are looking at, including its name, icon, estimated mining time and mining progress. This makes mining much easier and lets you quickly understand how long a block will take to break.
✨ Enchantment Icons
Enchantments are displayed with custom pixel-art icons, making them much easier to recognize at a glance. The system supports normal enchanted items as well as enchanted books.
📊 Better Tool Information
Get clearer information about your tools, including durability, mining speed and other useful statistics. Better Tools Plus is designed to provide useful information without filling your screen with unnecessary interfaces.
⚙️ Configurable Features
The main gameplay features can be enabled or disabled through the mod's settings, so you can choose exactly how you want to play.
You can configure features such as:
⚔️ Attack Cooldown Restriction 🪓 Automatic Axe Selection ⛏️ Mining information HUD ✨ Enchantment icons 📊 Tool information
🎯 Quality of Life, Not a Gameplay Overhaul
Better Tools Plus does not try to completely change Minecraft. It focuses on small but useful improvements that make everyday gameplay smoother, faster and more comfortable.
Whether you are mining, chopping trees, fighting mobs or simply managing your tools, Better Tools Plus gives you more useful information and removes some of the annoying little parts of vanilla gameplay.
