Tools On My Back — A client-side mod that visually displays the last used tool on the player's back. Adds immersion and style to your adventures, giving you the look of a seasoned traveler.
Showcase
🪄 In-game editor 🪄
Everything is set up in-game, from Mod Menu — no config files to edit by hand. The middle panel is your own character, so every change shows up as you make it.
Profile sharing
For example, I'll give you this profile for belt swords:
[TOMB|iron_sword|a=1|s=.85|rx=-90|ry=90|ox=.34|oy=-.6|oz=-.22]

Mod Compatibility
- Works seamlessly with other popular mods.
Multiplayer Friendly
- Fully client-side — visible only to you.
Custom Models (Resource Packs)
- Supports resource packs with custom models.

About in-game editor:
- Add item — pick one straight from your inventory. Or Add empty and type the id by hand.
- Apply to all similar — one entry covering every item of the same type: all swords, all axes, and so on.
- NBT filters (Name / CMD / Model) — tell server and resourcepack items apart, so a renamed or retextured variant gets an entry of its own. Works with CIT Resewn packs too!
- Display, Flip, Scale, Rotation, Position — where the item sits on the back, per entry.
- Copy profile / Paste profile — one line of text you can paste anywhere. Other players running the mod see it in chat as a clickable
[TOMB | Import]chip. - Pose, Skin, Cape — check it standing or sneaking, on your own skin or on Steve and Alex. Drag the model to turn it, scroll to zoom, right-click to reset the view.
