ArtisanTools 🛠️
ArtisanTools — is a unique Minecraft plugin that adds a tool leveling system, tool specialization, and many other interesting features. Bring your tools to life, develop them, and gain unique bonuses!
Progress work on the basis of NBT tags, so the plugin does not require and do not use a database.

- Tool Leveling: Tools (pickaxes, axes, shovels, swords) gain experience through use and level up.
- Tool Specialization: After reaching level 5, you can choose a specialization for your tool, granting unique bonuses.
- Customizable Messages: All messages can be configured via the configuration file, and you can choose where they are displayed (chat, bossbar, actionbar).
- Experience Setting: Setting a certain amount of experience per block or creature for each item.
- Lore: Displays the progress in the lore of an item.
- Placeholders: Integration with PlaceholderAPI to display tool information in chat, signs, and other plugins.
- Commands: Convenient commands for managing tools and resetting them.
