Tool Utility (Fabric, Neoforge, Forge)
Every Minecraft player knows the panic: you are deep in a cave, a Creeper hisses behind you, and your sword is nowhere near your hotbar. Fumbling through your inventory mid-fight is a death sentence, and vanilla keybinds simply were not built for fast-paced combat. That is exactly the problem Tool Utility (Fabric, Neoforge, Forge) solves. This lightweight, client-side mod hands you instant hotkeys for swapping weapons, clearing your hand for safe interactions, and managing offhand food without ever risking your shield or Totem of Undying.
What Makes This Mod Stand Out
Unlike bloated combat mods that demand server-side installation, this one is fully client-side. That means you can join vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Fabric, or Forge multiplayer servers without asking admins for anything. It uses standard client-side inventory packets, so synchronization stays clean and you will not trigger container desyncs or ghost items.
The mod supports modern Minecraft releases across all three major loaders, so whether you run Fabric for performance, NeoForge for the latest features, or classic Forge for a heavily modded pack, there is a build waiting for you. If you want the smoothest setup experience, the foxygame.net launcher can install Tool Utility (Fabric, Neoforge, Forge) in a single click, automatically matching the correct loader and game version so you never have to juggle jar files manually.
Core Features Explained
Smart Weapon Swap (R)
Press R and the mod instantly cycles between your Sword and Axe. It checks your hotbar first, and if no alternate weapon is found, it reaches into your main inventory and equips your best option directly into your active slot. A weapon memory system even remembers the last type you used, so transitions stay smooth after slot changes.
Instant Empty Hand Toggle (V)
Accidentally swinging a Netherite sword at a Villager is a classic Minecraft tragedy. Press V to clear your main hand, open chests, lead animals, or inspect redstone builds safely. Press it again to restore your previous weapon instantly. If your hotbar is full, the mod safely swaps with an empty inventory slot instead.
Smart Offhand Food and Defensive Auto-Restore (G)
Press G and the best food from your inventory jumps into your offhand. The moment you finish eating, your Shield or Totem of Undying returns automatically. A harmful food filter ignores Rotten Flesh, Spider Eyes, Poisonous Potatoes, Pufferfish, and Chorus Fruit, while built-in safeguards prevent accidental Totem deletion in your GUI.
Configuration and Feedback
Everything lives in config/tool_utility.json, where you can tune timings, toggle actionbar messages, and adjust each feature to match your playstyle. Clean, subtle actionbar feedback confirms every swap, and you can disable it whenever you prefer a quieter HUD.
