<code>ToolItem</code> is the base of which all tool items extend. You do not necessarily have to use this or any of its supertypes/subtypes. However, it is convenient if you are looking for standard behavior. The subtypes normally referenced are <code>AxeItem</code>, <code>HoeItem</code>, <code>PickaxeItem</code>, <code>ShovelItem</code>.

Each tool has four parameters: tier, attack damage, attack speed, and properties. Tiers and properties have already been explained in this and within the [[Making Items|item/1.16]] docs. Attack damage specifies how much damage to do above the current base set for that specific tier. Attack speed specifies the speed modifier to apply to your current attack speed (defaults to <code>4.0D</code>).

{{Tip|content=If you decide to extend <code>ToolItem</code>, there will be a fifth parameter which defines which blocks this tool is effective on. This parameter can just be an empty set as that is now specified on each block itself.}}

A tool must be [[Registration|registered/1.16]] the same as an item. If using one of the subtypes of <code>ToolItem</code>, that is all that is required. If not, you will need to chain <code>addToolType</code> onto your properties. This will take in a <code>ToolType</code> and a harvest level. The type is held within <code>ToolType</code> itself. The harvest level will be the value from your tier using <code>IItemTier#getHarvestLevel</code>.

{{Tip|content=If you would like to use a custom tool type, you can call <code>ToolType::get</code>. All strings passed in should have their modid appended to them to remove any conflict issues (e.g. <code>examplemod::custom_tool_type</code>). If a standard implementation across mods is used for compatibility, no namespace is needed.}}
