About Us

Who we are

Hii, I'm Kons, the founder of mine.tools. I set it up with my twin brother JonnyCoder. We are based in Germany, where we combine our skills to build and maintain this project. He's the developer, so he's responsible for everything from the UI (user interface) to the algorithms. I'm the designer and I'm responsible for the content on the site. For example, I'm the one who writes this page, updates the changelog, and takes the pictures for all the pages. My main job is to design the sites, where the buttons are or what new tool we will develop.

How it started

We've been playing Minecraft since 2016 and often use online tools to calculate enchanting costs, coordinates or create a MOTD. But to be honest, most websites had pretty bad UI or UX (user experiences), so we decided to build our own tool for ordering enchantments in 2024. We made sure to include perfect user interfaces and experiences.

Free Servers

We played Minecraft with our friends on free servers because we haven't had the money to rent a server. I'm not a big fan of the user interface on these hosts. On top of that, our favourite host closed down in 2023. We thought we'd try to build our own service, but as soon as we crunched the numbers on costs and revenue, we realised that this business is losing money every second. Because of this issue, we put all our plans on hold. But, as I said before, in 2024 we started working on our own tool for ordering enchantments. If this page makes enough money, we'll release our own free Minecraft server host.

enchantment.tools

We released enchantment.tools on September 24, 2025, with our own algorithm and design. We got our first clicks on November 3, 2025, just one month later. After that, the site just keeps growing.

Even before we released the calculator, we knew we wanted to develop more tools. I checked out a few other sites and found minecraft.tools. I thought the domain was great, but it was too long. After thinking about it for a few hours and coming up with lots of different name ideas, I finally came up with mine.tools.
In 2026, we started working on three more tools to expand the toolbox, because we realized that just one tool wasn't enough. We decided to go with simple but useful tools. The tools we used for the release were the enchantment calculator, the nether coordinates calculator, the color codes table, and the MOTD generator.

Full release

On May 14, 2026, it was finally time to release mine.tools v1.0 with the first four tools. We haven't used ads yet, so we haven't made any money and have only spent cash.
