Modular Tools
Now available in alpha for Minecraft 1.9!
The Modular Tools modification introduces a unique balancing system that allows you to customize tools through a combination of upgrades and downgrades. Each modifier has a specific point value, and for the tool to function properly, you must maintain balance between them. To access the configuration interface, use Shift+Right-Click on the tool. The center of the interface displays an indicator that helps determine if the points are balanced.
Available Tools
- Modular Pickaxe
- Modular Sword
- Modular Ring (enhances movement)

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be more modifiers and tools added? Yes, expansion of the modifier and tool list is planned, along with possible balancing of points and recipes. Suggestions are welcome!
How to disable area mining? Sneaking disables all area mining effects (size, depth, vein, etc.).
Why can't I use speed upgrades and downgrades simultaneously? Some modifiers with opposite effects are incompatible with each other.
How to repair tools? Will I lose modifiers when they break? When tools break, they don't disappear but become temporarily unusable. To repair, place them in a crafting grid with Iron Ingots.
