The Multitool

The skyblock Multitool: one item that turns into a pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe or shears depending on the block you aim at. Bound to you, never lost.

The Multitool packs your five tools into a single slot: a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel, a hoe and shears. Aim at a block and it turns into the right tool on its own. You mine, chop, dig and harvest without ever touching your hotbar.

Getting it

You’re handed it during the tutorial, when you reach the spawn. After that, it comes back on its own: every login, every respawn, it’s back in your inventory. You can’t lose it.

If it’s ever missing, /multitool gives it back. It also has its own spot on the display rack in the rank perks screen.

Filling it

Right click with the Multitool in hand opens its storage: five slots on a leather strip, each drawn in the shape of its tool while it’s empty.

  • Drop a tool anywhere on the screen: it goes to its type’s slot, swapping places with the one already there.
  • Take a tool back with a click.
  • One tool per type: put your best ones in.

It arrives empty. Your starter tools come from your kit (/kit): they slot themselves in when you carry it.

How it chooses

At every moment, the Multitool looks at the block you’re aiming at and picks the fastest tool for it, with that tool’s own enchantments and wear. It takes on that tool’s look in your hand, and shows the pickaxe when idle. On vines, lichen or tall grass, it switches to the shears so the block actually drops.

It adds nothing to your tools: a netherite pickaxe inside mines exactly like one in your hand. What counts is what you put in.

Moves

  • Right click in the air: opens its storage.
  • Right click on a block: a chest opens as usual, dirt gets tilled, a log gets stripped, just like with the tool it’s wearing.
  • Sneak + right click: makes a path, harvests leaves and grass with the shears, and on a tree, starts the Woodsman’s Felling when it’s wearing an axe.

At the spawn and in its Nether, it only works inside the pits.

Bound to your account

The Multitool is yours for good: it doesn’t drop on death, can’t be thrown, and won’t go into a chest, a bag or an item frame. It can’t be sold at the Auction House or traded. The tools stored inside are kept safe, even if you disconnect.

Starter tools from the kit are unbreakable but can’t be enchanted. As soon as you have a better pickaxe, enchant it with Efficiency, Fortune or Excavation and put it in: it takes their place.
