About this Mod
💮Style Over Virtue 💮
🔧About🔧
Style Over Virtue Allows you to change what your tools look like by using different materials! This data pack allows you to create different tools using different kinds of materials to style them and show them off to your friends! This is a quality of life data pack, allowing you to make wooden tools of every wood type, endstone and sandstone tools, things like that!
I've also snuck in some secret tools that you can find via experimentation, so keep an open mind and smack some random things into that crafting table, you might just make another kind of tool!
If you want me to add any other toolsets to this pack, send a suggestion in the discord or comment on my PlanetMinecraft

This Datapack is Currently In Beta
I plan to add much more to this pack such as give commands, maybe obsidian tools, more toolsets etc, This datapack only currently contains the wooden and stone tool variants. Thanks for understanding!

Possible Concerns
Data packs that have the same recipes as the ones in style over virtue could collide with the data pack. Which is why I've went out of my way to try and exclude making tools who's recipes might collide with other data packs, such as copper tools, or emerald tools.
But I still cannot confirm this data pack wont collide with other data packs that add useful tools using the same materials used for the styled tools.
