Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
4 New Types of Tools
Hammers
- Hammers can break pickaxeable blocks in a 3x3 area in any direction.
Paxels
- Paxels function as a Pickaxe, an Axe, and a Shovel all in one.
Scythes
- Scythes till the ground in a 3x3 area, as well as dealing massive damage with a high attack cooldown.
Lumber Axes
- Lumber Axes break a certain amount of connected logs depending on the tier, perfect for cutting down entire trees! Keep away from your house.
2 Utility Tools
Glass Chipper
- The Glass Chipper allows the user to break glass-like blocks much faster, as well as dropping the blocks without silk touch.
Bedrock Smasher
- Using the Bedrock Smasher on Bedrock will weaken it enough to be mined by a high level pickaxe.
New Enchantment
Reaping
- Levels 1-4, allows Scythes to do increased damage
