Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.0, potentially outdated):
ChiselToolsLite1.17.1.zip 1-click install
This is Chisel Tools Lite - Make sure you're not looking for regular Chisel Tools
I've had a few requests for something like this. This is a bare bones version of Chisel Tools
You get:
Hand Planer - remove and add layers or partial layers of voxels
Hand Wedge - move, flip, and rotation chiseled blocks on all 3 axis
Pantograph - with limited modes:
- shape only paste
- shape & material paste
- material only paste
- shape add
- undo
- rename
- remove unused and duplicate materials
You also still get the Portfolio (press P while looking at a chiseled block, you may have to rebind the key) which is fully compatible with the main chisel tools portfolio. (Portfolio saves shapes on your PC across worlds & saves)
That's it! If you're looking for decorative objects (chiselabel versions of ovens, planters etc), the paintbrush, palettes, the QP Chisel, you need to use the regular Chisel Tools.
**Please make sure you don't have this installed at the same time as regular chisel tools, IDK what would happen, but it won't be good**
Well my dreams of having the same version number as Chisel Tools are shattered xD - 1.14.20 fixes the pantograph snapshot crash.
FAQ:
Y Tho?
Chisel Tools Lite is meant for servers that hate fun servers that want a more vanilla experience. Also you should be able to remove Chisel Tools lite with no impact to your game save (apart from the actual tools becoming invalid)
This is great, but can you add functionality "X"?
No. Use this, or use regular Chisel Tools. Seriously please don't ask lol.
Will this be kept up to date with regular Chisel Tools?
I will do my best. I will keep the same version numbers between the two hopefully.
Will future Chisel Tools features be added to Chisel Tools Lite?
Only where it makes sense, like some core functionality that isn't too OP etc.
Awesome can I just switch to Chisel Tools Lite on my server then?
Switching from Regular Chisel Tools to Chisel Tools Lite will cause missing blocks and is generally not recommended. All the decorative objects (ovens, paths, ladders and so on) will be ? blocks that will have to be removed. Also the palettes include blocks that are part of Chisel Tools so some chiseled blocks in your world will also be missing textures. Also make sure to not have both variants of the mod at once!
OK We're ready for the good Stuff, can I switch my server from Lite to Regular Chisel Tools?
Yes there should be no problems with this, just make sure you've removed Chisel Tools Lite - you don't want both mods at once!

thanks for keeping this mod updated! :)
Crashing on v1.22.0 (Stable).
will need update for 1.22
Stopping in to say i love this mod. Big fan of your work. :)
FYI, your first hyperlink to the full mod is missing an "s" on the end
I second the thing bawks just said, the game crashes when entering portfolio.
Big fan of this mod and your work on it, are you able to fix the chisel portfolio crash with this lite version that you fixed in v1.15.2 of the full mod?
in ingame tutorial are paint brush and also is existing but not ingame.
gg
I just want to say thank you I really appreciate your time releasing this vanilla friendly version!
heya QP, please update soon!
tabmow no there's no palette or paintbrush!
Lazy question, sorry - does the lite version allow for material swapping on an already chiselled block? Thanks.
D3Rpcake Witold Just released a new version that fixes the crash.
QPTech It happens every time no matter what block I use the pantograph on.
D3Rpcake Does it happen every time, or everytime with the same block? Or just random?
I'm also getting the crash when left clicking with the pantograph on a chiseled block. I don't really like using discord, but here is the crashlog.

Witold just to make sure there are no other versions of chisel tools installed and you're on the 1.20.11 or newer of Vintage Story? Please submit a crash log to my discord.
when I want to use the pantograph with the left mouse button, the game crashes, the regular version of the mod doesn't have itDessertOverlord at least I was consistent, all fixed thanks!
All of the links to the main Chisel Tools go to https://mods.vintagestory.at/chiseltool , instead of https://mods.vintagestory.at/chiseltools , so they 404. :P
