ScalpelMod
ScalpelMod adds professional tools with questionable applications.
This is not a weapon mod first. It is a utility-focused Minecraft Forge mod about tools being pushed beyond their intended purpose. Everything is designed to feel clean, functional, and connected to a larger system.
Community Project
ScalpelMod is a community-updated mod. Contributions are welcome from anyone with the skill to help improve the project.
You can contribute if you can work on things like:
- code
- textures
- models
- recipes
- balancing
- systems
- documentation
- ideas that fit the mod’s direction
Even texture editing alone can be useful if it matches the mod’s visual style and quality standards.
Current Features
- Scalpel
- A fast, low-damage melee tool
- Built around precision rather than brute force
- Includes the custom Surgical Combo combat mechanic
- Consecutive hits on the same target increase damage temporarily
- Resets when switching targets, stopping too long, or dropping the combo
Design Direction
ScalpelMod is built around a serious, professional tone:
- tools first, weapons second
- clean utility-focused design
- systems that connect together
- no random standalone content
- vanilla-friendly presentation
Future content may include more tools, blocks, mobs, structures, and interconnected systems based around labs, facilities, job sites, and professional environments.

- Minecraft Forge
