zEvolutiveTools is a powerful tool progression plugin that transforms ordinary tools into evolving companions.

Each tool carries its own currency, levels, and progress right in its lore

The menu hub, every page for the tool in your hand

The Settings page, effects show as locked until you unlock them

• Every tool type earns its own separate currency from its own action: mining, chopping, digging, harvesting, killing mobs, or catching fish
• Earn rates are set per block, mob, or caught item in each tool's config
• Currency-gain notices can route to the action bar or to chat

Buying Fortune in the Enchantments menu

• Autosmelt (pickaxe)
• Auto-replant (hoe)
• Radius Mining 1x1 / 2x2 / 3x3 (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe)
• Telekinesis drops go straight to the inventory (all tools)
• Currency Multiplier (all tools)
• Auto-Sell (all tools, uses Vault when present)
• Item Drop Boost (all tools)

The Effects page

Telekinesis, one of the unlockable effects

• A linear quest chain plus a daily rotation per tool
• Currency rewards, with a bonus for clearing all of a day's quests
• Rewards can require a manual claim, and when they do, the next chain quest unlocks only after the finished one is claimed
• Configurable daily reset time and timezone

A daily quest, Oak Order, in the Quests menu

• Four counters: blocks mined, mobs killed, damage dealt, and fish caught
• Each tool's file says which counters it tracks, so a sword never shows blocks mined. Pickaxe, axe, shovel, and hoe count blocks, combat tools count kills and damage, and the fishing rod counts catches
• Only counters above zero are shown, so a brand new tool has no Statistics block until its first block, hit, or catch
• Damage dealt counts direct hits only, after the target's armor
• Optional block filter on blocks mined: whitelist or blacklist a material list so only the blocks you care about count. It changes the stat only, currency still follows the tool's own earn-from list
• Turn a single counter off per tool, the whole block off for one tool with statistics.enabled: false, or every tool at once with display.lore-show-stats: false
• The section title and the counter names live in the language files, like every other line

• Rankings for lifetime currency earned, blocks mined, and quests completed
• Viewable in a menu or with /et top
• The in-menu board can show just the tool you opened, the whole server, or a toggle between the two
• Players can opt out of being ranked, and rankings refresh on a configurable interval without ever blocking the main thread

• Pickaxe (Netherite Pickaxe) breaking blocks, 1.18+
• Axe (Netherite Axe) chopping logs, 1.18+
• Shovel (Netherite Shovel) digging blocks, 1.18+
• Hoe (Netherite Hoe) harvesting crops, 1.18+
• Sword (Netherite Sword) killing mobs, 1.18+
• Fishing Rod catching fish, 1.18+
• Trident killing mobs, 1.18+
• Mace killing mobs, 1.21+
• Spear (Netherite Spear) killing mobs, 1.21.11+

• Give a custom fish its own rate with a quoted line in the rod's earn-from list, for example "customfishing:golden_cod": 20. A custom fish with no line of its own pays its material's rate
• A FISH_CATCH quest can name a plugin item instead of a material: "customfishing:<loot id>", "itemsadder:<namespace:id>", or "oraxen:<id>"
• source: vanilla on a quest counts plain catches only, source: custom counts only custom ones, and leaving it out counts both
• Telekinesis, auto-sell, and item drop boost reach CustomFishing catches whenever the loot drops in the water. Loot handed straight to the inventory still earns currency, advances quests, and counts toward the fish caught stat

• Storage: SQLite by default or MySQL. Every tool's state is mirrored to the database so an admin can restore a lost tool by its id.
• 10 bundled languages with automatic fallback to English for any missing line. Every menu, lore line, and chat message follows the active language.
• Flexible styling: named color tokens, hex shorthand, gradients, rainbows, and legacy codes, all configurable.

• Vault only needed if you want the auto-sell effect to pay through your economy plugin

• PlaceholderAPI only needed if you want to use the %zet_...% placeholders
  https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/
• CustomFishing only needed if you run it, so its catches earn currency and count toward quests
  https://builtbybit.com/resources/customfishing.36361/
• ItemsAdder only needed if your custom fish come from it, so they can be named as quest targets

• Oraxen only needed if your custom fish come from it, so they can be named as quest targets
  https://oraxen.com
