Ultoolmate Documentation

A NeoForge 1.21.1 mod focused on massive tool variety, material progression, and an Alloy Smelter pipeline for advanced ingots.

Mod ID: ultoolmate Version: 1.0.1 Minecraft: 1.21.1 Loader: NeoForge 21.1.77+

Quick Start

Ultoolmate ships as a standard NeoForge mod jar. Put it in your mods folder and launch Minecraft 1.21.1.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.1
  • NeoForge 21.1.0+ (project currently uses 21.1.77)
  • Java 21 runtime

Install Steps

  1. Download or build the mod jar.
  2. Copy jar to your instance mods folder.
  3. Start Minecraft with NeoForge profile.

Optional Integrations

  • JEI category for Alloy Smelter recipes is included.
  • JER can read mod loot tables automatically.

Core Systems

This mod is built around reusable templates and placeholder tools, then transformed through smithing into material-specific tools.

Tool Families

9

Axe, Hoe, Pickaxe, Shovel, Sword, Shears, Brush, Paxel, Sworoe.

Material Lines

17

From End Stone and Netherrack to Graphene Steel and Maraging Steel.

Total Tools

153

17 materials x 9 tool families.

Crafting Flow

  1. Craft placeholder tools (paper + wooden tool recipes).
  2. Use a tool template item (for example sword_st).
  3. Add a material ingredient in the smithing table to transform the placeholder tool.

Material template items are registered and visible in-game; some packs may treat these as WIP content depending on your progression design.

Alloy Smelter

The Alloy Smelter is a fuel-powered machine for two-input alloy recipes. It validates a full multiblock shell before opening/processing.
