A Create mod addon that adds modular tools.

Note: This mod is in alpha, so expect things to break or change in the future. It is not recommended for survival worlds yet

Melting Metals

You can melt metals by dropping their corresponding items into a super-heated Basin and mixing them using a Mechanical Mixer, similar to how Cobblestone can be melted into Lava.

Disassembling Tools

Tool Modules

Each tool module has its own stats that affect the overall performance of the modular tool. These stats include durability, attack speed, mining speed, attack damage, among others. Some tool modules also add special properties. For instance:

• Netherite tool modules are fireproof, preventing the modular tool from despawning when it falls into lava or fire.
• Copper tool modules are waterproof, allowing the modular tool to mine at the same speed underwater (as long as you're standing on a block).
• Brass tool modules provide Wrenching, enabling the modular tool to function as a Wrench. You can view the stats of each tool module in its tooltip, while holding Shift.

Assembling Tools

To craft a mold, deploy Sand onto a Bowl using a Deployer. Once created, you can place the mold down to start using it.

Initially, molds have no shape. You can interact with them while holding a tool (either vanilla or modular) to imprint the shape of that tool onto the mold.

Once you have a shaped mold, you can interact with it while holding compatible tool modules to add them to the mold. You can also interact with tool modules in a mold to remove them. If you remove a tool module from a mold, the mold will still have the shape of that tool module. To also remove this shape, interact with it. You can keep interacting with a mold using different tools to change its shape, as long as it is completely empty.

If there are any empty slots left in a mold, you can pour molten metal into it using a Spout.

To cool and solidify the molten metal, drop the mold in front of an Encased Fan that has water in front of it.

You can use a Mechanical Press to assemble a modular tool from a completely solid mold.
