Source codenet/wurstclient/hacks/AutoToolHack.java

The AutoTool hack automatically equips the best tool from the player's hotbar whenever they try to break a block. When enabled, the player no longer has to think about which tool to use for which block. This saves time and is generally convenient. It is safe to keep AutoTool enabled at all times.

Settings

Use swords

Use swords
TypeCheckbox
In-game description“Uses swords to break leaves, cobwebs, etc.”
Default valuenot checked

The “Use swords” checkbox allows AutoTool to use swords to break certain blocks like leaves or cobwebs. Swords are faster at breaking these blocks, but they lose 2 durability points for each block broken because the game always considers swords to be the “wrong” tool.

Use hands

Use hands
TypeCheckbox
In-game description“Uses an empty hand or a non-damageable item when no applicable tool is found.”
Default valuechecked

The “Use hands” checkbox allows AutoTool to use empty hands or non-damageable items when no appropriate tool is found in the player's hotbar. This can help to save some durability points that would otherwise be wasted by not switching away from the wrong tool.

Repair mode

Repair mode
TypeSlider
In-game description“Prevents tools from being used when their durability reaches the given threshold, so you can repair them before they break.
Can be adjusted from 0 (off) to 100.”
Default value0 uses (off)
Minimum0 uses (off)
Maximum100 uses
Increment1 use

The “Repair mode” slider prevents AutoTool from using tools when their durability reaches a certain threshold. When the durability of a tool reaches this threshold, the setting will prevent the tool from being used until it is repaired. The slider can be adjusted from 0 (off) to 100 remaining uses, in increments of 1.

Switch back

Switch back
TypeCheckbox
In-game description“After using a tool, automatically switches back to the previously selected slot.”
Default valuechecked

The “Switch back” checkbox tells AutoTool to automatically switch back to the previously selected slot after using a tool. This is usually convenient, but it can cause problems when using other hacks together with AutoTool.
