🔨Evolving tools

Your tools level up as you use them, from 1 to 10. They are unbreakable. The Tools kit (/kit) gives you all six at level 1, and the server gives you the right one back if you arrive without it in an activity world.

The ten levels also change how it looks: Diamond, Brilliant Diamond, Amethyst, Royal Amethyst, Ruby, Blazing Ruby, Onyx, Imperial Onyx, Astral, Celestial.

They can't be enchanted: everything they gain comes from their levels.
