Graphite Tools
A light-weight mod for tools made from graphite
About this Mod
This mod adds graphite tools. Nothing else.
Not even recipes or graphite itself, so if you want to use this, you will need to provide those on your own.
(For example with KubeJS)
The tools are about as good as Iron tools.
This mod was designed for personal use in modpacks.
If you want to include this in you own modpack, feel free to do so.

Graphite Tools server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Graphite Tools compatible with forge?
Graphite Tools officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Graphite Tools – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Graphite Tools consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
