Build Your Own Tools
Cast tool parts from molten metals and assemble them at the tool station. Choose materials with different durability, mining speed, attack damage, and unique traits to create tools suited to your needs.
From everyday pickaxes to hammers and excavators for mining larger areas, there’s a tool for every job.

Upgrade Your Gear
Customize your tools with modifiers such as Silk Touch, Looting, extra durability, and stat improvements.
Worn-out tools stop working instead of disappearing. Repair them and keep the progress you’ve earned.

Crafting Brought to Life
Bring your workshop to life with a crafting interface that displays your tool on the workbench and animations that show your character working on it.

Tools That Grow With You
Using your tools earns experience and unlocks mastery paths. Develop abilities such as area crop harvesting, whole-tree chopping, and specialized combat skills.

Getting Started
Requires Hephaestus Forge. JEI integration lets you browse melting and casting recipes directly in game.
