Create: Extended Wrenches

The Extended Wrenches mod provides the ability to personalize wrenches from the Create mod according to your preferences. This allows you to stand out on a server ("He stole my wrench!") or simply enjoy the appearance of a tool that's constantly in front of you during engineering work.

With this mod, you can replace the head (golden part), handle (wooden part), and also dye the wrench grip in various colors.

Available Materials

Head: Amethyst, Andesite Alloys, Brass, Copper, Diamond, Emerald, Gold, Iron, Lapis Lazuli, Nether Quartz, Polished Rose Quartz, Zinc

Handle and Cog: Acacia, Bamboo, Birch, Cherry, Crimson Wood, Dark Oak, Jungle Wood, Mangrove Wood, Oak, Spruce, Warped Wood

Creating Custom Materials

First, you need to define the material. The example_material.json file is placed in the data/example/extendedwrenches/wrench_material folder:

{
  "part": "head", // can be ["head", "handle"]
  "texture": "example:item/extended_wrench/head_materials/awesome_material" // any path to a texture
}

Then you need to create a recipe for applying the material to the wrench. The recipe is very similar to a regular smithing recipe but includes the part and material parameters without specifying result. This recipe can be placed in the same location as regular crafting recipes.

{
  "type": "extendedwrenches:wrench_material_swap",
  "addition": {
    "item": "minecraft:apple"
  },
  "template": {
    "item": "extendedwrenches:wrench_head_augment"
  },
  "material": "example:example_material", // path to the created material
  "part": "head" // can be ["head", "handle"]
}

It's important to remember that the recipe format differs in version 1.21! For additional help and examples, visit the project's GitHub repository.
