Too Many Tools does what it says, adds too many tools to the game. This mod adds 49 full tool sets (pickaxe, axe, hoe, shovel, and sword) alongside 29 full armour sets, each with their own unique abilities and purposes. The tools added are for all stages of the game, ranging from Sand tools which can be used to limited effect in the early game, to Echo tools being a replacement for diamond in the late game.
Most tools have special abilities that differentiate them from normal Minecraft tools. These abilities can both be good or bad. The abilities of the tools are not the only unique factor about the tools, as each has their own unique durability, mining speed, attack speed, attack damage, and protection.
Tool Abilities:
- Refund Tools/armours with refund is left with 1 durability, it is broken and refunds all the material cost.
- Amorphous Tools/armours with amorphous transform into a tool/armour of the same material when left with 1 durability.
- Experienced Tools with experienced drop xp when attacking or breaking blocks. Armours instead drop xp when you are hurt. This effect will not stack.
- Spellbound Tools/armours with spellbound start with a few free enchantments. You must hold/equip the tool/armour to gain the enchantments.
- Glass Cannon If you take damage while holding/having equipped a tool/armour with glass cannon, it sets your hp to 1 if it would not have killed you otherwise.
- Aquatic Aquatic tools/armours provide water breathing to the user.
- Lively Tools/armours with lively regenerate their durability overtime.
- Volatile Tools with volatile explode when mining or attacking, this will not destroy the mined resource but might destroy the attacked mob's drops. Armours with volatile instead explode in a larger radius when you take damage. Neither of these explosions would damage the environment and only hurt mobs/players.
- Ignitable Tools with ignitable will only apply their effects while you are on fire. If you are on fire, you set things you attack on fire, and auto-smelt blocks you mine. This will not work with silk touch or forture. Armours with ignitable will keep you on fire if you are set on fire.
