3x3 Enchantments
by JoraSH10
3x3 Enchantments lets pickaxes, shovels, axes and hoes act on a three-by-three area per use, through a new enchantment called 3x3.
What it does
Tools that carry the 3x3 enchantment affect the full three-by-three area in front of them instead of a single block. Pickaxes clear the area, shovels dig it, axes break it and hoes till it. Holding Shift turns the area effect off when a single block is needed, such as when placing or fine-tuning a shape.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, with game versions 1.16.5 – 1.21.11 and the latest file, 1.0.0+1.21.4, for 1.21.4. The code is closed: the mod is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Reworked Golden Tools is server required with the client optional, not open source, and covers 1.20.4 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so it targets golden tools rather than area enchantments. Detominer is open source under the MIT License, works only on Fabric and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 with the server required and the client optional. No Netherite Upgrades is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, for Fabric and Forge across 1.20 – 1.21.1.
