Mechanics and Tweaks

The core of Pickle Tweaks lies in its mechanical changes to vanilla systems.

Tool Breaking Tweak

By default, Minecraft tools disappear when they reach 0 durability. Pickle Tweaks changes this so that tools become 'broken' and ineffective at 1 durability. A broken tool cannot mine blocks or deal damage but remains in the inventory, allowing the player to repair it at an anvil or via the crafting grid.

Crafting Grid Tool Repair

This feature allows players to repair tools directly in the 2x2 or 3x3 crafting grid. By placing a damaged tool alongside its base repair material (e.g., an Iron Pickaxe with an Iron Ingot), the tool's durability is restored. This functions similarly to an anvil but does not require an anvil block or experience levels (unless configured otherwise).

Right-Click Harvesting

Players can right-click any fully grown crop (Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, etc.) to harvest it. The crop will drop its loot, and a seed will be automatically replanted in its place. This works with modded crops as well.

Tool Information Tooltips

Pickle Tweaks adds detailed information to tool and weapon tooltips, including:

• Mining Level: Displays the name of the highest tier block the tool can mine (e.g., 'Diamond')
• Mining Speed: Shows the numerical value of the tool's efficiency
• Ammo Count: For bows and crossbows, the tooltip displays the total amount of valid ammo currently in the player's inventory
