Vipix' Toolbox

Sometimes it doesn't initialize properly. Usually reloading the world fixes it.
What blocks are you trying to swap?
 
Hello everyone ! Ever missed the slope you wanted with your hammer ? Ever been lost in the paints you have in your inventory ? Well fear no more !

Let me introduce the Toolbox.

Content
Several new tools, with interfaces or right-click abilities. The Grand Design and its cool interface inspired me to port the idea to the other tools.

The Smartammer is so smart it lets you choose the slope you want on the block you clicked.
It even keeps walls intact. I heard the merchant got one not long after you defeated Skeletron.

Combine all your super-specialized block-creating wands into one !
It still consumes the corresponding resource but with a 50% chance, because not all of us have the time.

Pay a visit to the painter, he may have upgraded his tools.
The color palette will be able to use any kind of paint, at a 80% reduced rate, what a deal. You can right-click a color to disable it until you right-click on it again. Stay organized !
If you are not satisfied with its position, type /CenterUI followed by fixed, mouse, or free to enable each behaviour

Sometimes I wish I could burrow in sand, but without ruining the landscape.
The wand will work on any kind of sand, and you can reverse the process with a right-click.
In case you're too impatient to gather the materials to make one, the dryad has one. But she likes it.

It's a hammer. For walls. Not blocks, not enemies, walls. This hammer is much less smart by the way.
No smart cursor or hammer power for this one. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that yet.
You know this one, right ? But have you ever tried right-clicking with it ?

Now you can become the next Bob Moss.

The definition of glitchy. Unstable blocks will be placed, like the Ice Rod, but items on it will not be destroyed. The teleporter glitch was inpractical at best anyway.
Wizards like unstable magic wands by the way.
In case you don't like the position of the interfaces, type /CenterUI followed by fixed, mouse, or free to enable each behaviour. Fixed will be centered on the screen, mouse will be following the mouse (default), free will allow you to drag (only palette supported, recommended for palette)

Performs what is known as a switcheroo of blocks. By using the revolutionary Minetendo Switch Technology, it is able to exchange type, slope and color with the block in your inventory faster than the eye can see. The safety mechanism will prevent kids from mining hard blocks and harming themselves.
You can congratulate the mechanic for her technological achievement.

[REMOVED]Furniture

Balance
The mod is supposed to fit in a normal gameplay, since I believe 1) paint shouldn't be that hard to handle 2) paint doesn't break game difficulty 3) paint tools don't make for a good reward.
Some of the tools have damage, but they are not intended to be decent weapons when the player is able to obtain them. Please tell me if that isn't the case.
The palette spotlight is an OP exploration tool ! Please refrain from using it for that. I'll try to find something in the meantime.
[FIXED]The Greater Wand allows wood replication right now. In case you didn't know wood replication hurts the planet's feeling. Better plant trees.
The Wall Hammer kind of defeats the idea of hammer power, since it's so fast, but it doesn't have smart cursor so it balances out ? I don't think hammer power comes close to having the same impact on gameplay as pickaxe power anyway.
Feedback
I need your feedback ! What breaks balance? What's buggy ? What isn't in the toolbox that should be ? What ranges should be changed ? What prices aren't right ?
Also feel free to make some sprites if you want to.
By the way I'm on the Terraria and Tmodloader discord.

Known issues
- The interfaces may not respond the first time, wait a few seconds or alt-tab. Is it just me ? If anyone knows why UI bug (even sometimes on Jopo's mods) I'd be glad to know.
- Swap pickaxe will not work properly in multiplayer. Other feedback regarding multiplayer is welcome.

Hi, is this mod compatible with Labor of Love? I'm not seeing too much recent activity, just want to make sure. And is there a reason this mod won't show in my in-game tmodloader mod browser? I'm worried about breaking my game since I'm post-ML on Calamity Infernum
