Practical tools, smart enchantments, building blocks and ores that feel like vanilla.

Handwerk (German for "craftsmanship") — formerly known as DayOfMind Additions.

(https://modrinth.com/mod/handwerk) speeds up resource gathering, terraforming and farming with area-of-effect tools, adds a full tool-progression system, rounds out your building palette, and sets every overworld ore into the rock it grew in — all without overcomplicating the base game. Built by (https://oxfatech.de) as the heart of the DayOfMind modpack, it works standalone in any pack: Fabric on every supported version, NeoForge from 26.x.

## ⭐ New in 0. 16 — the Ore Update Ores now look like the rock they grew in. All eight overworld ores come embedded in granite, diorite, andesite and tuff — plus sulfur and cinnabar in the 26. 2 sulfur caves. That's 48 new blocks that mine, drop and generate exactly like the ore they are, without changing where ore spawns.

Previously, in 0. 15 — the Tools Update: a complete tool rework with the Harvester Scythe, a tier-upgrade system built on the Reforging Rune, two signature enchantments (Wide Reach & Magnetism), the Lodestar Charm magnet, and a dedicated advancement tab.

🎬 See the tools in action (recorded on the earlier tools — the idea's the same!)

## ✨ Key Features

### 🛠️ Smart Tools A family of tools that turn tedious jobs into a single click. Every tool comes in all six tiers (Wood → Netherite) and works with modded blocks too.

Terraformer Shovel — excavates earth-like blocks in an area, and toggles dirt ↔ dirt-path (sneak to reverse). Hammer — mines stone-like blocks in an area, and creates paths just like the shovel. Prospector Pickaxe — vein-mines a whole ore deposit at once. Lumberjack Axe — fells an entire tree, and strips logs in an area. Harvester Scythe — right-click to harvest & replant mature crops, mow grass/ferns/flowers, shear vines/leaves/cobwebs, cut sugar cane/bamboo/cactus, harvest melons & pumpkins, and till farmland — all context-aware.

### ♻️ Tool Progression & Reforging Your tools grow with you instead of being re-crafted from scratch.

Durable by design — every tool carries extra durability over its vanilla counterpart. Reforging Rune — a craftable smithing item that upgrades an Iron or Gold tool to Diamond, carrying its enchantments and wear across. Netherite upgrades — promote a Diamond tool to Netherit
