[Suggestion] Add AutoTool options for blocks without preferred tool #5729

Describe the feature

AutoTool is unable to swap between tools when mining blocks without preferred tool, such as:

  • Glass
  • Sea Lanterns
  • Glowstone
  • Turtle Eggs
    (probably more that are not relevant)

The lack of this feature is problematic, because those blocks don't drop themself when mined without Silk Touch.
Also, also a common problem, for example when you attempt to mine Glass/Sea Lanterns with a Silk Touch Pickaxe already in the hand and Kill Aura changes your hotbar item to the sword to attack Phantoms in the air, the hotbar item remains a sword when you continue to mine Glass, resulting in the Glass breaking without drops.

A simple fix for this problem would be adding a selection box for blocks without preferred tool: [Sword/Pickaxe/Axe/Shovel/Sheers]
The player may choose to enchant their preferred tool for those blocks with Silk Touch to mine them and collect them, which is currently not possible.

Another option would be adding a Silk Touch Whitelist.
If enabled, AutoTool will always prioritize mining the whitelisted blocks with Silk Touch, if any tool with the Silk Touch enchantment is in their hotbar currently.
If enabled, AutoTool should attempt to mine blocks that aren't whitelisted (e.g. ores or crops) with Fortune if a Fortune tool is in the hotbar.

Before submitting a suggestion

  • This feature doesn't already exist in the client. (I have checked every module and their settings on the latest dev build)

  • This wasn't already suggested. (I have searched suggestions on GitHub and read the FAQ)
