Tool Stats Mod is a utility and equipment-focused Minecraft mod that adds extra tooltip details for your gear and tools on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. It focuses on surfacing useful item stats directly in-game so you can make faster upgrade and usage decisions.
Minecraft hides some of the numbers players actually use when deciding what to mine with, what to enchant, or what to carry as a backup tool. This mod solves that by putting key stats in tooltips where you already look, so you spend less time guessing and more time playing. With 4,860,278 downloads on Modrinth (nearly 5 million), it has strong social proof from players who want better item clarity while keeping the base game feel.
Key Features of Tool Stats Mod
- Harvest Level on tiered tools — This shows harvest level for items like pickaxes where that stat matters. It helps you quickly confirm whether a tool is suitable for the block tier you are targeting, reducing trial-and-error. In survival progression, that saves time and avoids unnecessary tool swaps.
- Mining Efficiency on tiered tools — Seeing mining efficiency directly in the tooltip makes tool comparison much faster. Instead of relying on memory, you can decide instantly which tool is better for your current task. That small clarity boost becomes valuable when juggling multiple tools in long mining sessions.
- Enchantability visibility in the enchantment table GUI — Enchantability appears on enchantable items while using the enchantment table interface. This is useful when you are deciding where to spend levels and lapis, because you can evaluate enchant potential with less guesswork. It supports smarter enchanting choices rather than blind attempts.
- Tool Durability display on damaged tools — Durability info appears when a tool is damaged, which gives actionable status only when it matters most. You can plan repairs, replacement, or reserve usage before a tool breaks mid-task. For exploration or mining runs, this reduces avoidable interruptions.
- Configurable information toggles — The mod is configurable, so you can disable specific tooltip details you do not want. That flexibility matters because some players prefer minimal UI while others want full data visibility. You get control over information density without uninstalling the mod.
- Context-aware tooltip behavior — The displayed stats are tied to item context, such as tiered tools or enchantable items in the correct screen. This keeps the interface cleaner than dumping every stat everywhere. The result is a more readable tooltip experience that still gives meaningful depth.
