Auto Tools Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on Auto Tools?
Auto Tools is enabled by default when you install the mod. If it's not working, check your keybinds in the controls menu—there should be a toggle key assigned to enable/disable the mod. You can also configure it through the mod's settings menu.
Why is Auto Tools picking the wrong tool for mining?
Auto Tools selects tools based on mining speed, mining level, enchantments, and DPS. If a tool seems wrong, it might have a higher mining speed or better enchantments than you expect. Check your configuration files to manually adjust tool priority for specific blocks.
How do I make Auto Tools use Silk Touch for certain blocks?
Edit the silk_touch.json configuration file and add the block names you want mined with Silk Touch. Auto Tools will then prioritize a Silk Touch tool for those blocks, even if a faster tool is available.
Can I make Auto Tools prefer Fortune pickaxes for ore mining?
Yes, use the fortune.json configuration file to list blocks where Fortune should be prioritized, such as ores and mineral deposits. Auto Tools will select a Fortune tool for those blocks when available.
How do I force Auto Tools to always use shears for specific blocks?
Add block names to the shears.json configuration file. Shears will always be selected for those entries, regardless of other tools in your inventory.
Does Auto Tools work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, Auto Tools is a client-side mod and doesn't require the server to have it installed. It works on any server without affecting other players or server rules.
Why isn't Auto Tools switching weapons when I fight mobs?
Auto Tools selects weapons based on DPS (damage per second), which factors in attack speed and damage. Make sure you have weapons in your inventory and that the mod is enabled. If a weapon seems suboptimal, it might have lower DPS than what's currently equipped.
Can I disable Auto Tools for specific tools or situations?
Yes, the mod is highly customizable through configuration options. You can exclude specific tools, disable it for certain block types, or toggle it on and off with your assigned keybind.
Does Auto Tools work with enchanted tools?
Yes, enchantments are a key factor in tool selection. The mod considers enchantments like Efficiency, Unbreaking, and others when deciding which tool to use, alongside mining speed and level.
Will Auto Tools cause lag or performance issues?
Auto Tools scans your inventory to pick the best tool, which has minimal performance impact. If you experience lag, it's likely from other mods or settings, not from Auto Tools itself.
