This mod lets you create combined "omni-tools", saving inventory space and removing the need to switch back-and-forth between tools for simple tasks.

Omni-tools will switch automatically when used on the following if the omni-tool contains an appropriate tool:

• Stones (Pickaxe)
• Sticks (Axe)
• Weeds (Scythe)
• Scythe Crops (Scythe)
• Dry Tilled Farm Soil (Watering Can)
• Artifacts Spots (Hoe)
• Trees (Axe if mature, otherwise Scythe)
• Stumps (Axe)
• Boulders (Pickaxe)
• Grass (Scythe)
• Ore Panning Spots (Pan)
• Watering Can Fill Spots (Watering Can)
• Pet Bowls (Watering Can)
• Water tiles (Fishing Rod) - this is ignored in favour of watering cans
• Farm Animals (Shears or Milk Pail)
• Monsters (Melee Weapon) - only if facing monster, default 128 pixels away or less
• Tillable Soil (Hoe)
  

Auto-switching can be tweaked in the config.

Omni-tools will by default have a number in the top-left corner showing how many tools are combined.

Holding down the mod key (default Left Alt) while hovering over the omni-tool will show the names of the combined tools in the tool name.

Here is a video showing some of this in action:





Creating Omni-Tools

Omni-tools are created from the inventory page.

To create an omni-tool:

• Pick up a tool
• Hover over another tool's slot
• Hold down the mod key (default Left Alt)
• Place the held tool on the other tool.
  

An omni-tool cannot be added to another tool this way, but a non-omni-tool can of course be added to an existing omni-tool.

Tools that can be combined include:

• Axe
• Hoe
• Fishing Rod
• Pickaxe
• Watering Can
• Melee Weapon
• Scythe
• Slingshot
• Milk Pail
• Pan
• Shears
• Wand
  

Tools of the same type cannot be combined. If an existing omni-tool has a tool of the same type as the one being placed, the new tool will be switched with the tool in the omni-tool.


Manipulating Omni-Tools

Omni-tools can be manipulated manually:

• from within the inventory page when hovering the cursor over an omni-tool
• while equipping an omni-tool with no menu open.
  

To cycle through the tools press the cycle key (default X).

To remove the current tool from the omni-tool, press the remove key (default Z).


Notes

The mod seems to maintain tool enchantments, but might need more testing.
