Toolbelt doesn't auto-switch to shovel for stump removal

Postby » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:32 am

I had a stone axe equipped and a poor man's belt with a [edit: wooden] shovel on it equipped. I started destroying a stump and I just used my axe instead of auto-switching to the shovel. (When I manually put the axe in the belt and equipped the shovel, it worked fine.)

Known issue. Currently no method of making sure that a shovel is the proper tool. (My guess is that it has something to do with the way the objects are identified on the server.) viewtopic.php?f=47&t=57785&p=742326&hilit=tool+shovel+stump#p742270

What I said above. Can't fix this except through ugly hacks and ad hocs at present. May change if we add more equipment in similar veins.

Perhaps leave destroy stumps as is, but add a right click option to uproot stump that requires shovel.
Destruction could yield no blocks whereas uprooting still grants blocks as is.

Although, it's not a huge issue in the first place. Guess it depends on how much time you have to kill.

We call it simply, Russian soul.”
