Cooler Tools

Cooler Tools is a lightweight Vanilla+ mod designed to improve your everyday Minecraft experience without breaking the game's balance. It focuses on adding useful tools and unique mechanics that save time and make survival more rewarding.


Key Features

  • Knives: Faster than swords but with slightly less damage. Their main power is Butchery — kill animals with a knife to get bonus meat drops! Supports all vanilla materials from wood to netherite.
  • Obsidian Tools: A new tier of equipment. Tougher and more durable than Diamond, perfect for those who aren't ready for the Netherite grind yet.
  • Windcharged Gear: Special tools with unique aesthetics and great stats to power up your late-game experience.

New Enchantments

  • AutoSmelt: Efficiency at its finest! Automatically melts ores while you mine them, saving you coal and time.
  • Boom: High-risk, high-reward. This enchantment explodes the block you just mined, allowing for rapid excavation of large areas.
  • Poisoning: A combat-focused enchantment that applies a poison effect to your enemies, making your weapons even more deadly.

Why Cooler Tools?

Unlike big overhaul mods, Cooler Tools stays true to the vanilla feel. No complex machines or confusing mechanics — just grab your gear and play!
