About this Mod

Once this datapack is loaded, all the following recipes will be shown:

Putting your same-material-tools(axe + pickaxe + hoe + shovel) shapelessly to CRAFT Multitools.

Hint: Netherite Multitools should be crafted instead of being ~~smithed~~.

(Now you can regret from your wrong way in v1.4+.)

Multitools have 4 times max-durability as its original tool, and is efficient for Extra Blocks.
In order to make use of some special uses(e.g. make path by shovel), put your multitool in your mainhand then press swapoffhand key(default: F) to switch tools(even sword).

Extra-Blocks

Glass & Glass Pane, Heads, Wool & Wool Carpet, Beds, Candles, Cake, Honeycomb Block, Sea Lantern, Glowstone, Redstone Lamp, Powder Snow, Cactus, Turtle Egg, Sniffer Egg, Froglight, Cobweb & Beacon.

Putting your any-material-sword + shield + iron_ingot to SMITH sword-with-shield-upgrade. (MC 1.21.5+)

Multitools can also get an extra shield upgrade, but is needed to switch to sword first.

The durability of the sword won't be changed when got a shield upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern Multitools server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Modern Multitools compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Modern Multitools officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Modern Multitools – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Modern Multitools 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.
