Tools, Armor and Shields

Tools, Armor and Shields

A vanilla-friendly Fabric mod that significantly expands your survival and terraforming capabilities. This project consolidates five individual modules into a single, cohesive mod, introducing new tiers of equipment based on Amethyst, Emerald, and Obsidian, alongside powerful multi-block mining tools and uniquely customized shields.

Features

Heavy-Duty Tools (Hammers & Excavators)

Hammers function as upgraded pickaxes for mining stone-like materials, while Excavators function as upgraded shovels for digging dirt, sand, and gravel. Both tools mine multiple blocks simultaneously and feature a dynamic visual block outline to show precisely which blocks will be destroyed before you mine them.

The tools are available in four tiers, each with varying mining radiuses and depths:

• Iron Tier: Mines a 3x3x1 area (1 block deep).
• Redstone Tier: Mines a 3x3x3 area (3 blocks deep).
• Emerald Tier: Mines a massive 5x5x1 area (1 block deep).
• Diamond Tier: Mines an ultimate 5x5x5 area (5 blocks deep).

_Note: The tools dynamically skip blocks they are not designed to mine (e.g., an Excavator will not break stone), preventing accidental damage to your world._

Tiers & Armor Set Bonuses

The mod introduces full toolsets, weapons, and armor for three materials:
Amethyst, Emerald, and Obsidian. Equipping a full set of armor grants unique, persistent abilities:

• Amethyst Armor: Acts as a dynamic light source. Wearing the full set emits a continuous light level of 15 around the player (True Lantern Behavior).
• Emerald Armor: Grants a Villager Discount. Wearing the full set provides better trading prices with villagers, functioning similarly to the Hero of the Village effect.
• Obsidian Armor: Grants permanent Fire Resistance. Wearing the full set protects you from all fire and lava damage.

Custom Shields

A variety of new shields are included, such as Wooden, Iron, Diamond, Emerald, Obsidian, and specialized round variants.

• Each shield features its own distinct blocking and equip sound effects, providing a more immersive combat experience.
• All shields are neatly organized in a dedicated Creative Mode tab for easy access.

Compatibility

This mod is optimized and thoroughly tested for Minecraft 26.0 to 26.3. It utilizes a dynamic cross-version rendering system to ensure the block outlines and features work perfectly on both versions using a single .jar file.
