Deft Tool Switch

Deft Tool Switch is a lightweight QoL tweak that automatically swaps to the best tool in your hotbar when you start mining a block, so you can focus on digging, chopping, and clearing without constant scrolling. It prefers the correct tool type and can prioritize enchants like Efficiency or Silk Touch/Fortune based on your settings.​

Features

Auto-selects the most suitable tool for the targeted block as soon as you left‑click to mine, reducing friction during large excavations and tree clearing.​

Respects sneaking to temporarily pause switching when you want manual control for a moment.​

Optional switch‑back after the block breaks to return you to your previous slot for smooth workflows.​

Important limitations

You must keep the relevant mining tools in your hotbar; switching only considers those 9 slots. Place your pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, and shears in the hotbar for best results.​

Some servers may treat automatic tool switching as an unfair advantage similar to macros; usage can violate server rules and may result in punishment or bans. Use at your own risk and verify the policy of the server you play on.​

Configuration

Toggle switch‑back behavior, sneak‑to‑disable, and whether to prefer Silk Touch or Fortune when both are available.​

Maintain a simple block blacklist to avoid switching on specific materials.​

Compatibility

Works well alongside typical client QoL setups and server environments that allow automatic tool switching; always check the server’s rules before enabling.​

Event‑driven implementation designed for broad tolerance across supported versions without invasive hooks.​

Getting started

Put your mining tools in the hotbar and start breaking blocks; Deft Tool Switch will pick the right tool automatically. Sneak to temporarily suppress switching when needed.​
