About this project

What does Simply Tools add?

Simply Tools

This mod is the successor of Vanilla Hammers and Vanilla Excavators for Forge on 1.19+. It could be combined with MoreVanillaLib to have some special effects for most of the tools.

Hammers will mine like a pickaxe, but in a 3x3 area.

Excavators will mine like a shovel, but in a 3x3 area.

If MoreVanillaTools is present, the tool materials of this mod will also enable hammers and excavators for it.

This mod needs LibX installed!
