About this Mod
Tools of the Apocalypse is a Fabric mod that adds a handful of Urban Weaponry that can pair up with your next Zombie/Parasite/Sculk Invasion adventure!
Get a Taste | The Baseball Bat is an item you can craft relativly quickly. With a handful of Flint and a couple pieces of iron, you can upgrade it into a Spiked Baseball Bat, ready to deal even more damage and retain a higher durability.

Solid Swaps |
Tools of the Apocalypse can replace Picks, Axes, & Swords up to and a little past Gold Level.
If there's enough demand I can make the tools completely replace Vanilla in purpose, but without the demand, I'm happy to leave it as is.
Better Combat |
This mod comes with Better Combat compatibilty built-in and it's strongly recommended that you use it alongside TotA.
Built for Modpack Developers First |
TotA really doesn't fit into Vanilla without the careful hand of a thoughtful developer. For this purpose, TotA's MIT source-code is as neat as I can make it for you to parse through at your leisure.
Note |
The mod comes with some Vanilla Loot Tables injected already, however it's fully expected that you as a Modpack Developer tweak these tables to add TotA's gear into appropriate locations.
