Do I need Immersive Engineering to use this mod?

Yes, Immersive Engineering is a required dependency. The mod is built to work with IE content and mechanics.

Can I use Mending on the REDIA Tool?

No, Mending is disabled by design. The mod is about actively maintaining your tools with diamonds, not letting an enchantment do it for you.

What happens when the REDIA Tool's durability gets low?

Mining speed drops significantly. You'll mine slower and get less Fortune benefit. Keeping it repaired is the whole point of the tool.

Is the Ore Crushing Hammer repairable?

No, it's a consumable item. It breaks after crushing roughly 64 stacks of ore. After that you need to craft a new one.

What versions of Minecraft does this mod support?

Engineer's Tools supports 1.12.2 through 1.16.5. Download the version that matches your Minecraft installation.

Engineer’s Tools Mod adds a set of practical handheld tools designed to work with Immersive Engineering. If you like manual tools that reward proper maintenance, this mod has some solid options.

Features

REDIA Tool

The main draw here. It’s a multi-tool that combines pickaxe, axe, shovel, and shears into one item. Builds like a diamond tool and performs around Efficiency III when in good shape. But here’s the catch: durability matters. As it breaks down, the tool gets slower and mines less efficiently. That’s intentional. Keep it repaired with diamonds and you’ll stay efficient. Let it degrade and you’ll feel the difference.

Fortune works the same way. Fully repaired gives you Fortune III level drops. Broken down tool? Fortune drops too. The curves are configurable if you want to adjust how much durability actually matters.

You can put Unbreaking on it, but Mending isn’t allowed. This is a mod about actually maintaining your tools, not just letting an enchantment fix everything.

Right-click stuff with it and you’ll place torches. Sneak-right-click dirt and it cycles through dirt, farmland, coarse dirt, and grass paths. Use it on leaves, vines, grass, and sheep when sneaking to shear them. Sneak while chopping wood logs and it’ll fell entire trees for you, though that costs more durability.

Ariadne Coal

A coal-based pen that marks arrows on cave walls, floors, and ceilings so you can find your way back out. Craft it like an Engineer’s Hammer and you’re good to go.

Ore Crushing Hammer

Early game solution for turning ore into grit, same concept as the IE ore crusher. Craft it with an iron block instead of one of the ingots. Low durability item that’ll process about 64 stacks before breaking. Not repairable, so either make a new one or get an actual ore crusher machine set up.

Requirements

You’ll need Minecraft Forge and Immersive Engineering installed. Both are required dependencies.
