Forge Pick Block But For Tools

by ClearSkyye · on CurseForge

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20
Minecraft 1.19
Minecraft 1.18.2

⬇ Download for 1.20.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20 ⬇ Download for 1.19 ⬇ Download for 1.18.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is a port of my mod from fabric made available in Forge. Fabric version: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/pick-block-but-for-tools

It allows the Player to use the Pick Block like action to instead pick the tool that best breaks or saves the block. This action does not override the main Minecraft Pick Block action

To use the break feature hold "B" (default key binding) and middle click on the block to select the best breaking tool (prioritizes fortune).

To use the "save" feature hold "V" (default key binding) and middle click on the block to select the best silk touch tool.
