MaxTools
MaxTools is a Paper plugin that turns regular tools into evolving tools.
As players mine blocks with compatible tools, the plugin tracks their progress, updates the item name and lore, unlocks configurable milestones, grants special abilities, opens custom GUI menus, and can send Discord webhook notifications.

Perfect for Survival, SMP, RPG, Lifesteal, BoxPvP, and custom progression servers.

Features

• Evolving tools with block mining progress
• Fully configurable milestones
• Unlockable special abilities
• Custom item names and lore
• Progress display directly on the tool
• GUI menus for progress, milestones, abilities, and stats
• SQLite storage for registered custom tools
• Anti-farm system for player-placed blocks
• Discord webhook support
• Multi-language support
• Admin preview and testing tools
• Configurable menus, sounds, messages, and layouts

How It Works
When a player breaks a block with a compatible tool, MaxTools checks if the tool can evolve.
If the block is valid, the plugin increases the tool progress, updates its display, and checks if the player reached a new milestone.

Milestones can unlock:

• Enchantments
• Special abilities
• Progress tiers
• Custom rewards through configuration

The tool data is stored directly inside the item using PersistentDataContainer, while registered custom tools are also saved in SQLite.

Special Abilities
MaxTools includes several configurable abilities:

• Self Repair — Repairs durability after walking a certain distance.
• Auto Smelt — Automatically smelts compatible block drops.
• Telepathy — Sends drops directly to the player inventory.
• Drill — Breaks blocks in an area.
• Hammer — Area-breaking ability variant.
• Vein Miner — Breaks connected blocks of the same type.
• XP Boost — Increases natural XP drops.
• Haste — Gives passive Haste while holding the tool.
• Saturation Pulse — Restores hunger and saturation.
• Luck Surge — Temporarily increases compatible drops.
• Momentum — Grants stacking Haste by breaking blocks quickly.

Abilities can be enabled, disabled, limited by material, given cooldowns, chances, amounts, and custom triggers.

  completed-format : "&8« &#55FF55&lMAXED &8»"

Available placeholders include:

Placeholder	Description
Code (Text): {current}	Current progress.
Code (Text): {target}	Next milestone target.
Code (Text): {unit}	Progress unit.

MaxTools supports placeholders for menus, Discord embeds, progress displays, and messages.

Common placeholders:
[/CENTER]

Placeholder	Description
Code (Text): {player}	Player name.
Code (Text): {player_uuid}	Player UUID.

Discord Webhooks
MaxTools can send Discord notifications when players unlock milestones or abilities.

Supported Discord events:

• 
  
  
  • Milestone unlocked
  • Ability unlocked
  • Test message

Webhook embeds are configurable and support placeholders such as:

Code (Text):

{player}
{tool}
{blocks}
{ability}
{reward}
{server}
{timestamp}

Languages
Included languages:

• 
  
  
  • English
  • Spanish

Players or admins can use: /met lang

Storage
MaxTools stores tool data in two ways:

1. 
   
   
   • PersistentDataContainer inside the item
     • Mined blocks
     • Unlocked abilities
     • Last applied milestone
     • Base name
     • Progress name
     • Managed lore lines
     • Ability activation counters
     • Custom tool ID
     • Test tool data
   • Plugin files and database
     • custom_tools.db
     • player-placed-blocks.yml

This helps keep tools persistent and protected from invalid duplicates.

Important Notes

• 
  
  
  • If you change milestones or ability rewards, use /met sync on existing tools.
  • If you use abilities like Drill, Hammer, or Vein Miner, test them with your protection or claims plugin.
  • The plugin can apply enchantment levels above vanilla limits.
  • Keep allowed-mentions.parse: [] in Discord settings to avoid accidental mass pings.
  • /met admintoolsremove confirm is destructive. Use it carefully and always make backups.
  • Test tools are designed for QA and visual testing.

Useful Admin Examples

Code (Text):

/met toolinfo gui
/met menu
/met testtool DIAMOND_PICKAXE all 5000
/met testtool NETHERITE_PICKAXE vein-miner 5000
