Auto Tool Swap
Auto Tool Swap — Smart tool automation.
About this Mod
Auto Tool Swap is a lightweight utility mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 designed to streamline your gameplay. It removes the tedious task of manually switching between pickaxes, axes, and shovels, allowing you to focus on building and exploring.
Key Features:
Instant Swapping: Automatically switches to the best tool the moment you left-click a block.
Performance Based: Instead of just looking for tool types, the mod calculates the actual mining speed for every item in your inventory and selects the absolute fastest one.
Mod Compatibility: Fully compatible with custom tools and blocks from other mods.
Highly Configurable: Customize your experience via the in-game config menu:
Hotbar Only: Limit the search to your hotbar or allow access to your entire inventory.
Creative Mode Filter: Choose whether the mod should function in Creative mode.
Efficiency Check: Toggle whether to swap if your current tool is just as fast as the one in your inventory.
How to use:
Simply attempt to break a block. If a better tool is found in your hotbar (or inventory), it will be swapped into your main hand instantly. It’s a must-have for massive excavation projects where dirt, stone, and gravel are constantly mixed together.
