BestTools

BestTools can automatically choose the best tool from your hotbar or whole inventory everytime you mine a block. Every player can enable or disable this feature if desired with the simple command /bt (or /besttools). BestTools will always choose the fastest available tool and takes enchantments into account. Every player can also decide whether they want to limit the tool selection to their hotbar or complete inventory with the command /bt hotbar (or /besttools hotbar).

You can also enable automatic hotbar refill using the command /rf (or /refill).

Furthermore it's possible to use BestTools for using your best weapons when attacking monsters, for example it will prefer a stone sword with smite 5 over a diamond sword with sharpness 1 when attacking zombies, or an iron axe over an unenchanted iron sword, etc.

Outstanding performance!
BestTools 1.4.0+ easily gets along with even hundreds of players that are stripmining with golden efficiency 5 pickaxes at the same time!

(Yes, I have tested that! If you don't believe me, enable "measure-performance" in the config.yml or see the videos below. Under each video is a link to the detailed performance information.)

Unlike similar plugins, BestTools will only do recalculations if absolutely neccessary. If you mine the same block again without having a tool broken, picked up or dropped, BestTools will immediately quit its calculations.

Example: Desert rage

Destroying a desert and desert temple with golden efficiency 5 shovels and pickaxes
(Performance results)


I am always working on improving performance, but if you somehow accomplish to make your server laggy using BestTools, I will be happy to buy you a beer or three!
