Understand How Auto Tools Selects the Best Weapon for Combat
Weapon Selection Mechanics
Auto Tools doesn't just pick any weapon—it evaluates multiple factors to choose the most effective tool for each mob or situation.
Selection Criteria
When you attack a mob, Auto Tools considers:
- DPS (Damage Per Second): How much damage the weapon deals over time, accounting for attack speed
- Enchantments: Tools with relevant enchantments (like Sharpness or Fire Aspect) are prioritized
- Mining Level: Some weapons may be restricted by material tier
- Availability: Only tools currently in your inventory are considered
How It Works in Practice
1. You attack a mob
2. Auto Tools scans your inventory for all available weapons
3. It calculates which weapon will deal the most damage most quickly
4. That weapon is automatically equipped
5. Your next attack uses the selected weapon
Tips for Better Combat
- Keep multiple enchanted weapons in your inventory for different situations
- Higher-tier materials (diamond, netherite) are generally preferred
- Enchantments like Knockback can affect selection priority
- The mod works seamlessly without requiring manual weapon switching
