Server Launch

Modifiable Tools are special items that are modifiable versions of standard Minecraft tools. When holding a Pickaxe, Axe, Sword, Shovel, Hoe, Spear or Mace of any material type, type /apply mod to turn the tool into a Modifiable Tool. Once the item is in this state, a Skin Kit, Strange Sharpening Kit and/or a custom name can be applied. A custom name can be applied by using the /rename command. A custom name can be cleared using /rename clear

A modifiable tool can be upgraded to Netherite if the tool type is Diamond, by using the /apply smithing command whilst holding a Netherite Ingot in your offhand.

Obtaining

Command

Hold a valid tool, and type /apply mod

Item Qualities

A Regular variant can be obtained by applying a Skin Kit whilst holding this item in your off hand, and the modifiable tool in your main hand, and then typing /apply skin.

A Strange variant can be obtained by applying a Strange Sharpening Kit whilst holding this item in your off hand, and the modifiable tool in your main hand, and then typing /apply strange.

An Epic variant can only be obtained by turning a Mace into a Modifiable Tool, given the Mace normally has the default Epic rarity that Minecraft provides it.
