Whetstone

Whetstone - Portable Repair Tool (Vanilla-Modded Survival Friendly)

This addon is fully optimized to run on native, stable bedrock settings!

📖 How to Use (Step-by-Step Gameplay Manual)

All three tiers share the same intuitive mechanic, mimicking true blacksmith tools:

1. 🛡️ Equip the Whetstone: Open your inventory and place your chosen Whetstone into your Offhand Slot (your shield slot).

2. ⚔️ Hold Your Damaged Gear: Hold the tool or weapon you want to repair (Swords, Pickaxes, Axes, Shovels, or Hoes) firmly in your Main Hand. (Note: Most Modded Tools will work as well!)

3. 🧘 Sneak & Sharpen: Hold down your Sneak/Crouch button, then Right-Click (or tap & hold your screen on mobile devices).

What Happens Next:

An automated status notification will appear directly on your action bar displaying exactly how much durability was restored, your tool's current total health percentage, and the exact remaining uses left on your Whetstone.

⚖️ Survival Balance & Durability Limits

To ensure your game loop stays balanced, each tier offers escalating power and lifespan, but they are not infinite:

⚠️ Important Restrictions:

• No Self-Repairing: Whetstones cannot be used to repair other Whetstones.

• Anti-Waste Protection: If your main-hand tool is already completely repaired or has no durability components (like a block of dirt), the system will prevent you from accidentally using up your Whetstone's remaining lifecycle charges.
