EntropyTools

Entropy Tool

One tool. Twenty levels. Endless upgrades.

The Entropy Multitool combines a pickaxe, axe and shovel in a single unbreakable item that grows stronger the more you use it. Every block you mine gives it experience: it levels up, mines faster, unlocks new mining modes and accepts upgrade modules along the way.

⛏️ How it works

• Pickaxe + Axe + Shovel in one item, with no durability.
• Gains mining XP for every block it is suited for (bonus XP for ores).
• 20 levels: harvest tier goes from Stone → Iron → Diamond → Netherite, and mining speed increases each level.
• At max level, it mines instantly and gets an enchanted glint.
• Right-click to strip logs and make paths; Shift + right-click to till soil once the hoe is unlocked.

📈 Progression (default config)

🔄 Mining modes

Switch modes with V (or Shift + right-click in the air):

• Normal: one block.
• 3x3 / 5x5: mines an area on the face you are looking at.
• Vein: mines a whole ore vein or tree trunk at once.

Sneak while mining to always break a single block. Area modes never break containers or machines, or blocks much harder than the one you are mining.

🧩 Upgrade modules

Craft modules from a Blank Module, then hold a module in one hand and the multitool in the other and right-click to install it.

• Magnet: drops and experience go straight into your inventory.
• Smelting: ores are automatically smelted when mined.
• Silk Touch: adds Silk Touch.
• Fortune: adds Fortune; install up to 3 for Fortune III.

Silk Touch and Fortune cannot be active at the same time; switch between them in the menu.

🖥️ Interface

• XP bar on the item and a small HUD while holding the tool.
• G opens the multitool menu: choose a mining mode, toggle or remove modules (they are given back), and turn the shears function on or off.
• Every unlock is announced in chat with a level-up sound.

⚙️ Made for modpacks

• Fully configurable (config/entropytool-common.toml): XP thresholds, number of levels, unlock levels for each tier, mode and module, mining speed, vein size, and an option to give the tool on first join.
• Tags: entropytool:vein_mineable (blocks for vein mode) and entropytool:auto_smeltable (items for the Smelting module).
• Recipes use common c: tags and can be replaced with KubeJS or a datapack.
• Admin commands: /entropytool give, /entropytool setlevel <level>, /entropytool addxp <amount>.
• Area and vein mining fire normal break events, so claim and protection mods are respected.
