Set Up Small Hand Tools for Survival Mode Exploration

Preparing Your Pack for Survival

Small Hand Tools works seamlessly in survival worlds, giving you a cleaner view while mining, building, and exploring without affecting gameplay mechanics.

Installation and Use

1. Load the resource pack into your world

2. Gather tools as normal — pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes will display smaller when held

3. Mine and build with your usual efficiency; the pack only changes appearance

4. Switch between tools freely; all handheld items are affected equally

5. Enjoy expanded visibility when looking around your base or landscape

What Stays the Same

  • Mining speed and tool durability
  • Damage values for weapons
  • Attack cooldowns
  • All crafting recipes and item functions

Visual Benefits

You'll notice more of your surroundings when holding tools, making it easier to:

  • Spot mobs approaching while you work
  • See your building progress clearly
  • Navigate terrain without weapon obstruction
  • Appreciate the landscape while exploring

The pack maintains the standard 16x pixel art style, so your world's aesthetic remains consistent.
