Crying Tools is a Minecraft mod that expands upon the Crying Obsidian; with new tools, armor, blocks, items and more.
Crying Tools adds:
- 7 New Tools
- 5 New Advancements
- 4 New Trimmable Armor
- 3 New Blocks
- 3 New Items
- 1 New Ore
- 1 New Enchantment with new mechanics!
Crying Ore is a very rare ore that generates both in the Nether and the Overworld.
In the Nether; it has the identical generation properties of the Ancient Debris, meaning it generates in the form of scatter ores. However, Crying Ore can be fully exposed to air unlike Ancient Debris.
In the Overworld; it has the identical generation properites of the Diamond Ore instead and it generates as a normal ore, the only differences being Crying Ore generates 3x less and it can be fully exposed to air.
When mined (with a Diamond Pickaxe or better), it drops a Crying Residue which can be used to craft a Crying Ingot. The block itself can be smelted into Crying Ingots aswell.
Crying Residue is an item obtained from Crying Ore, it can be used to craft a Crying Ingot with Netherite Ingots and one Crying Obsidian.
Crying Ingot is an item to upgrade Netherite equipment to Crying ones, it's also a trim material that can be used with any armor and trim template!
Even though Crying Ingot can be crafted with residues, it can also be crafted without them if you have some netherite ingots to spare.
It can also be crafted with only crying ingredients.
1-2 Crying Ingots can be found in Bridge and Treasure bastions with 20% and 22.5% chance respectively.
You also need a Crying Upgrade Smithing Template with a Crying Ingot to upgrade Netherite Equipment. To craft one, you need one Hard Crying Obsidian, one Iron Ingot and seven Netherrack.
A Crying Upgrade Smithing Template can be found in Bridge and Treasure Bastions aswell with 6.18% and 5% chance respectively.
It can be duplicated with diamonds and a crying obsidian aswell.
A Hard Crying Obsidian is a block that cries 4 times more than Crying Obsidian, and it only can be used to craft a Crying Upgrade Smithing Template. To craft it, you need 8 Ghast Tears and 1 Crying Obsidian.
A Crying Block is crafted from 9 Crying Ingots and can be uncrafted back into 9 Crying Ingots.
To upgrade Netherite equipment you need a smithing table, one Crying Upgrade Smithing Template (
), one Crying Ingot (
) and any Netherite equipment.

).

).
A knife can be ugraded to a Crying one, with one Crying Upgrade Smithing Template () and one Crying Ingot () just like any Netherite equipment.
Like all tools, Crying Tools also lose durability when they are being used. However; unlike other tools, Crying Tools will be damaged over time. If a Crying Tool has lost %66 or more of its durability, it will be Heavily Damaged. Else if it has lost between %33 and %66 of its durability, it will be Damaged.
Damage has no effect on the tool's attack damage and speed, just an indicator that it's lost a considerable amount of durability.
Crying Armor is also 8 times stronger than Netherite Armor.

When you wear any piece of Crying Armor, you're granted an effect called Crier (
Crier effect gives you Resistance and Strength. Even though the Crier effect gets stronger when you wear more Crying Armor, Strength will never stack. This means even if you wear a full set of Crying Armor, the Crier effect you have will only give you Strength I. This is not the case for Resistance however, and it stacks.
The Crier effect doesn't affect normal Resistance and Strength effects.
Crying Level is a player-specific feature that regulates how active the Crier effect on a player is. If a player is wearing not wearing any Crying armor, this feature is inactive until the player wears any Crying armor.
Amount of crying levels on a player depends on their worn crying armor count. For every one crying armor, their maximum crying level increases by 5. For example if a player is wearing full set crying armor, their maximum crying level will be 20.
The crying level is shown with a bar that shows the current level and the max level. (
)
The effectiveness of the Crier effect is calculated with Crying Level ÷ Max Crying Level. Any damage from any hostile mob will drain the levels, draining 1 level every 4 damage taken.
If the level hits zero, the Crier effect will be inactive. Crying levels always regenerate unless the bar hits maximum level.
- On Hard difficulty, one Crying level regenerates every 40 seconds.
- On Normal difficulty, one Crying level regenerates every 30 seconds.
- On Easy difficulty, one Crying level regenerates every 20 seconds.
- On Peaceful difficulty, one Crying level regenerates every second.
Drinking water will regenerate 8 Crying Levels.
Levels can be made permanent so they do not drain from damages from hostile mobs.
Eating a Crying Apple (
) will make 2 Crying levels permanent. A Crying Apple can be crafted with an apple (
) and a crying obsidian (
).
Permanent levels will be shown with yellow-ish outlines. (
)
Since permanent levels never drain; if you eat 10 Crying Apples, all of your Crying Levels will never drain and therefore you will have the Crier effect permanently.
Bane of Criers (
2.5 + 1 * (level - 1).
When an entity has the Bane of Criers, they will cry.
The enchanted book can be traded with librarian villagers, can be found on enchantment tables and ominous vaults in Trial Chambers.
