What is Tool Belt?

1 part

Tool Belt gives you a quick way to switch between tools. This pack includes version 2.2.10 of the mod, built for Minecraft 1.21.1.[1][2]

The core item is the Tool Belt. You can upgrade it by combining it with belt pouches in an anvil, which increases its capacity.[2]

Where it sits in the quest book

The pack's quest book puts Tool Belt in the Tips and Tricks chapter, with its own quest, "Tool Belt" quest. The quest task is to obtain the Tool Belt.[2]

Unverified The sources here do not show Tool Belt as part of the ATM Star path, so check the quest book itself if you are following that route. They also do not give the belt recipe, the pouch recipes, exact capacity numbers or any config options for the mod.

How do you get started with Tool Belt?

3 parts

The Tool Belt is a quick way to switch between tools, and it's the one item you need to start with. The pack has a quest for it, "Tool Belt" quest, in the Tips and Tricks chapter.[2]

Craft the Tool Belt

Start with the belt itself. The pack changed this recipe from the mod's default, so use the one below.[3]

Craft Belt Pouches

The Belt Pouch is how you grow your belt. You upgrade the belt by combining it with pouches in an anvil, which increases its capacity. The pack changed this recipe too.[2][3]

Upgrade the belt

  1. Craft a belt and as many pouches as you want to add.[2][3]
  2. Take them to an anvil and apply the pouches to the belt to increase its capacity.[2]
  3. Check the belt's tooltip. It shows how many upgrades it has and how many slots that gives you.[4]
Tip: Make the belt first and add pouches as you collect more tools. Each pouch you apply increases the belt's capacity.[2]

How does Tool Belt work?

2 parts

The sources for Tool Belt in this pack are thin, so this section only covers what can be confirmed. Nothing in them describes machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for this mod.[3][4]

What the mod adds

The pack's recipe dump shows the Tool Belt and the Belt Pouch as items from this mod. Each of them is made in a normal shaped crafting grid.[3]

Watch out: The pack changed the recipes for these items, so don't rely on the mod's default recipes or on older guides. Use the recipes shown below, which are the ones this pack uses.[3]

Upgrades and slots

The mod's tooltip text reads "Upgrades: %s (%s slots)". So a tooltip from this mod shows a list of upgrades with a slot count next to it.[4]

Unverified The sources here do not explain how the belt and pouch work in play, such as slot counts, which upgrades exist, or how stored tools are used. No config files for this mod are available in the pack, so any slot limits or options are not shown here.

How do you progress through Tool Belt?

2 parts

In this pack, Tool Belt progression is short: craft the Tool Belt, then grow its capacity with the Belt Pouch. The quest "Tool Belt" quest in the Tips and Tricks chapter covers this, and its task is the belt itself.[2]

First, the Tool Belt

The quest describes the belt as a quick way to switch between tools. The pack changes this recipe from the mod's default, so use the version below.[2][3]

This is the in-pack belt recipe, which the pack changed from the mod's default.

Then, upgrade with Belt Pouches

To increase the belt's capacity, upgrade it with belt pouches in an anvil. The pack also changes the pouch recipe from the mod's default.[2][3]

This is the in-pack pouch recipe, which the pack changed from the mod's default.

Tip: Both recipes are shaped crafting recipes, so the layout matters. Follow the recipe blocks above rather than assuming the mod's default layout.[3]

Which All the Mods 10 quests use Tool Belt?

The Tool Belt only shows up in one place in the quest book: the "Tips and Tricks" chapter. There's a single quest for it, so there's no long questline to follow here.[2]

  • "Tool Belt" quest is the quest in question. Its task is to obtain the Tool Belt.[2]
  • The quest text describes the belt as a quick way to switch between tools, and says you can upgrade it with belt pouches in an anvil to increase its capacity.[2]

Because it's the only quest for this mod, there's no order to worry about. Grab the belt whenever you want to make swapping tools easier.[2]

Unverified The sources don't say whether this quest gives a reward, or where it sits relative to other quests in the Tips and Tricks chapter.

What changed in Tool Belt between versions?

The pack changelogs only record version bumps for Tool Belt. They say which version moved into the pack and when, not what changed inside the mod.[5][6][7]

  • All the Mods 10 4.15: Tool Belt updated from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7.[7]
  • All the Mods 10 7.0: Tool Belt updated from 2.2.7 to 2.2.9.[6]
  • All the Mods 10 7.1: Tool Belt updated from 2.2.9 to 2.2.10.[5]

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Tool Belt 2.2.10 (the file ToolBelt-1.21.1-2.2.10.jar). The mod list says it was first included in All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier.[1]

Unverified There are no stored changelogs for the Tool Belt jars shipped in the pack, so what each of these updates added, fixed or changed inside the mod is not shown by the sources here.
