Tool Memory

A Minecraft Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that makes your tools remember their experience. The more you use a tool for a specific task, the better it gets at that task!

Features

Mining Experience

Your pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes gain experience for each type of block they mine:

• Level 1 (100 blocks): +20% mining speed for that block type
• Level 2 (500 blocks): +40% mining speed for that block type
• Level 3 (1000 blocks): +60% mining speed for that block type

Combat Experience

Your swords track kills for each type of mob:

• Level 1 (50 kills): +1 damage against that mob type
• Level 2 (150 kills): +2 damage against that mob type
• Level 3 (300 kills): +3 damage against that mob type

Experience Tracking

• XP is stored per individual tool, not globally
• Each tool remembers its own experience separately
• View your tool's XP and bonuses in the item tooltip
• Maximum of 3 levels per material/mob type

How It Works

1. Mining: Every time you break a block with a mining tool (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe), the tool gains 1 XP for that specific block type
2. Combat: Every time you kill a mob with a sword, the sword gains 1 XP for that specific mob type
3. Bonuses: Once you reach the XP thresholds, your tools automatically become more effective
4. Tooltips: Hover over your tool to see accumulated XP and current bonuses

Example

If you mine 100 stone blocks with a diamond pickaxe:

• The pickaxe gains "Stone: 100 XP (Level 1)"
• Mining stone with this pickaxe is now 20% faster
• Mining other blocks is unaffected until you mine 100 of them too

If you kill 50 zombies with an iron sword:

• The sword gains "Zombie: 50 kills (Level 1)"
• This sword now deals +1 extra damage to zombies
• Damage against other mobs is unaffected
