ToolStats Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see tool stats when I pick up a tool?
Tool statistics appear automatically in the item's lore (the text below the tool name) once you pick it up or view it in your inventory. If you don't see any stats, check your configuration file to ensure the stats you want are enabled for that tool type.
Can I turn off stats for just one tool type?
Yes. Open the configuration file and disable specific statistics for individual tool types—for example, you can show damage on swords but hide it on axes. Stats are still tracked behind the scenes regardless of your display settings.
What stats can ToolStats actually track?
ToolStats tracks metrics including durability, efficiency, damage, and other tool-related statistics. The exact stats available depend on your mod version and configuration—check your config file to see all available options.
Do the stats update in real time as I use my tools?
Yes, statistics are tracked continuously as you use your tools. The lore display updates to reflect current stats, allowing you to monitor your tool's performance and remaining durability.
How do I compare two tools to see which is better?
Hold each tool and check the stats displayed in the lore. You can compare durability, efficiency, damage, and other metrics side-by-side to decide which tool suits your needs better.
Will ToolStats work with enchanted tools?
ToolStats displays base tool statistics alongside enchantments. The plugin tracks the tool's inherent stats separately from any magical enhancements applied through enchanting.
Can I hide the stats lore but still track them?
Yes, that's the entire point of the configuration system. You can disable stat display in the config while statistics continue to be tracked in the background—useful if you want data without cluttering your lore.
Does ToolStats affect performance or server lag?
ToolStats is designed to be lightweight and compact. Since it only displays existing data rather than performing complex calculations, it should have minimal impact on performance.
How do I reset tool statistics or clear the tracked data?
Statistics are tied to individual tools and reset when the tool breaks or is removed from your inventory permanently. There is no built-in command to manually reset stats for a specific tool.
Does ToolStats work with modded tools?
ToolStats can track statistics for modded tools if they follow standard tool mechanics. Check your configuration to enable stats for specific modded tool types, or consult compatibility notes for your particular mods.
