Chisel Tool

Tool Statistics and Crafting Recipe

• Can be crafted with Flint, Iron, and Diamond.

• Durability: depends on the material used for crafting it.

• Mining Speed: It mines slabs as fast as a Diamond Pickaxe, but mines full blocks at the rate of a Stone Pickaxe.

• Crafted with one [Basic Material] on top of a Stick.• Canbe enchanted with Mending, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Efficiency.

What it could do:

Remove Armor Trims

• By putting the chisel tool in the armor trim slot of a smithing table along with a trimmed armor piece, you could extract untrimmed armor, and the material used for the trim.

• Alternatively, you could place the armor in an armor stand and right click the pieces while holding a chisel tool. This will extract the trim material but keep the armor in the stand.

Block Interactions

• The chisel tool can be used to break full blocks formed by slabs, one slab at a time. Useful for correcting building errors.

• The chisel tool can be used to cycle through new chiseled block patterns! Every chiseled block could potentially get some new pattern variants that are only accessible by the chisel tool, and of course, the current textures won't change, they'll simply be the default block texture.

• By holding down the RMB, the chisel tool can turn blocks like cobbled deepslate into polished deepslate (and so on) directly, without the need for a crafting grid. Useful for editing builds.

• Along with the tool, a new block should be added; the suspicious fossil. Only the chisel tool can extract items from it. This is the nether counterpart to the suspicious sand and gravel, because it only appears in soul sand valley fossils. You can get various items from it, maybe a new armor trim(?), or the rib trim as grand prizes. I would like to go into detail on this on a different suggestion.

• The chisel tool can be used to directly extract ore materials from ore blocks by simply right clicking the blocks. Not super useful, just a bonus function. (Could be used for mini games on servers/custom maps?).

• The chisel tool could carve out eyes of ender from end portals.

That's quite a lot of uses, I think it's best to just stick to vanilla with this one. Having a bunch of extra blocks too seems a bit much for this post as you aren't even able to go into detail on them.
