More Tools so cool
Vanilla Minecraft gives you a tidy progression from wood to diamond, but once you have a full set of netherite gear, the tool tier list stops being interesting. More Tools so cool fills that gap by introducing a steel tier that sits comfortably between iron and diamond, plus two multitools that change how you clear terrain and farm crops. If you have ever wanted a hammer that mines a 3x3 area or a pitchfork that tills and plants in one swing, this add-on was built for you.
What More Tools so cool Adds to the Game
The core of the mod is steel, a new material crafted from iron and coal. Once you smelt your first ingots, a whole set of gear opens up:
- A steel pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, and sword, each stronger and more durable than their iron counterparts
- A hammer that works on all material types and mines in a 3x3 area
- A pitchfork available in every material tier, also operating on a 3x3 area
- A steel hoe with a quality-of-life twist: it plants the seeds you are holding in your off-hand
That last detail is easy to overlook, but it makes large farms far less tedious. Hold a stack of wheat seeds in your off-hand, till a row of dirt with the steel hoe, and the seeds go in automatically. Combined with the pitchfork's wide coverage, you can turn a patch of wilderness into a working farm in a fraction of the usual time.
Why the Hammer and Pitchfork Stand Out
3x3 Mining with the Hammer
The hammer is the headline feature for most players. Instead of breaking one block at a time, it clears a 3x3 section in a single swing, which turns strip mining and tunnel boring into a much faster job. It works across all material types, so whether you are carving through stone, deepslate, or softer blocks, the wide break pattern stays consistent. Just remember that a 3x3 swing also means 3x3 worth of durability loss, so keep spare materials on hand.
Farming with the Pitchfork
The pitchfork applies the same 3x3 logic to agriculture. It comes in all material types, so you can start cheap with a wooden version and upgrade as your resources grow. Use it to break up grass, harvest mature crops, or clear leaves around your base. Paired with the steel hoe's off-hand planting, it forms a complete farming kit that no vanilla tool can match.
Supported Versions and Loaders
More Tools so cool for Minecraft is available for both Fabric and Forge, covering the major release lines from 1.16 through 1.20. That range means you can drop it into a modern survival world or an older modpack without hunting for a legacy build. Check the file list carefully before you grab a version, since the Fabric and Forge builds are distributed separately and are not interchangeable.
How to Install More Tools so cool
Installation follows the standard routine for Minecraft add-ons:
- Install Fabric or Forge for your exact game version
- Place the matching mod file into your mods folder
- Drop Fabric API into the same folder if you are running Fabric
- Launch the game and confirm the mod appears in your loaded mods list
If you would rather skip the manual file shuffling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the entire process for you: it detects your installed game version, pulls a compatible build of More Tools so cool from its curated add-on catalog, and keeps everything updated automatically so you never launch into a crash caused by a mismatched loader.
Crafting and Progression Tips
Recipes for every tool are shown in the images section of the mod page, so plan your first steel batch before you start mining. A few practical pointers:
- Stockpile coal early, since steel production consumes it alongside iron
- Craft the hammer before the full tool set if you spend most of your time underground
- Keep a wooden or stone pitchfork for early farming and save your steel for combat gear
- Repair tools with steel ingots rather than replacing them whenever possible
Final Thoughts
More Tools so cool is a compact add-on that solves two very specific annoyances: slow mining and slow farming. The steel tier gives you a meaningful mid-game upgrade, while the hammer and pitchfork deliver the kind of area-of-effect convenience that usually requires several separate mods. If you are ready to download More Tools so cool, pick the build that matches your loader, install it, and start swinging. Your tunnels and your wheat fields will thank you.
