Overview#
Morph-o-Tool packs every wrench and special tool from your other mods into one single item, the Morphing Tool. When you play with lots of machines and magic, your hotbar and inventory fill up fast with different tools and wrenches. Morph-o-Tool solves that by letting you store them all inside one item.
The Morphing Tool is context-aware: it automatically switches to the correct stored tool for whatever you are looking at or interacting with, then goes back to being a single compact item the rest of the time. Instead of juggling a dozen wrenches, you keep one slot on your hotbar and the tool does the rest. It works in single-player and on multiplayer servers.
Getting Started#
There are two quick steps: craft the Morphing Tool, then teach it your tools.
1. Craft the Morphing Tool. In a crafting table use three dyes (red, green and blue) together with iron ingots in the following shape:
[ ][G][B]
[ ][I][R]
[I][ ][ ]
Where G = green dye, B = blue dye, R = red dye and I = iron ingot. This gives you one Morphing Tool.
2. Store your tools. Put the Morphing Tool and one of your other mod tools or wrenches together in a crafting grid. The tool is absorbed into the Morphing Tool and its tooltip will list everything it is currently holding (for example a pickaxe, an axe and a shovel). Repeat for every tool or wrench you want to carry.
After that, just hold the Morphing Tool. When you interact with a block or machine, it automatically morphs into the matching stored tool, so you never have to dig through your inventory again.
Features#
- One item for every tool - combine all your modded wrenches and tools into a single Morphing Tool and free up your hotbar.
- Automatic context morphing - the tool switches to the right stored tool for whatever block, machine or item you are interacting with.
- Tooltip readout - hover the Morphing Tool to see exactly which tools it currently holds; hold SHIFT for more info.
- Offhand support - optionally morph in your offhand instead of your main hand.
- Fine-grained control - whitelist or blacklist specific items, whitelist by name, blacklist entire mods, and set up mod aliases.
- In-game config screen - change every option live from the mod's config menu, no files to edit.
- Single-player and multiplayer - works in solo worlds and on servers.
Configuration#
Open the Morph-o-Tool Config screen from the mod list (or your mod-config menu) to adjust how the Morphing Tool behaves:
- Allow all Items - let the Morphing Tool store and morph into any item, instead of only recognised tools and wrenches.
- Offhand Morph - morph in the offhand instead of the main hand.
- Whitelisted Items - a list of specific items that are always allowed to be morphed to.
- Whitelisted Names - allow items by name pattern, useful for grouping similar tools.
- Blacklisted Mods - exclude every item from specific mods so their tools are never absorbed.
- Mod Aliases - map one mod id to another so tools from related mods are treated the same way.
All options apply in-game, so you can tune the tool to fit whatever modpack you are playing.
Tips#
- Store your most-used wrenches first - the Morphing Tool always picks the correct one for the machine you are aiming at.
- Use Blacklisted Mods to keep tools you prefer to hold separately (for example a favourite mining tool) out of the Morphing Tool.
- Turn on Offhand Morph if you like to keep the Morphing Tool in your offhand while building or fighting with your main hand.
- Hover the tool and hold SHIFT to double-check everything it is carrying before a big build or machine session.
- It shines in kitchen-sink and tech modpacks where wrenches and configurators quickly overflow your inventory.
FAQ#
How do I make the Morphing Tool? Craft it from red, green and blue dye together with iron ingots in a crafting table (see Getting Started for the exact shape).
How do I add my tools to it? Place the Morphing Tool and one of your mod tools or wrenches together in a crafting grid; the tool is stored inside and shown in the Morphing Tool's tooltip. Repeat for each tool.
How does it know which tool to use? It morphs based on context - when you interact with a block or machine, it automatically becomes the correct stored tool for that situation.
Can it hold tools from any mod? By default it handles recognised tools and wrenches; enable Allow all Items or use the whitelist options to broaden what it stores.
Does it work on servers? Yes - it works in both single-player and multiplayer.
