Just A Few Pickaxes
Just A Few Pickaxes is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds a set of pickaxes made from unusual materials, each with its own tool behavior.
What it does
The mod adds several pickaxes whose materials give them unusual traits, from a Sand Pickaxe made with sand to a Missing Pickaxe that is crafted with air. Some are described by the author as one-time tools, such as the Glass Pickaxe, and the Oxidized Copper Pickaxe is obtained by using an oxidizer on the Copper Pickaxe. The Copper Pickaxe is set as a slightly weaker counterpart to the Iron Pickaxe, and the Oxidized Copper Pickaxe as a slightly stronger one.
The author began the mod as a first project made with MCreator and mentions a Brick Pickaxe as a possible future addition. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2 and the latest NeoForge file for 26.1.2. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

What the author says
This is the Just A Few Pickaxes Mod. I was very bored one day, so I tried my first MCreator Mod. Planning to port to Forge at some point. Probably not though! Thanks to EddieR5 for the idea for the Diamond Pickaxe Pickaxe, and thanks to Zirosi for the idea for the Ultimate Pickaxe.
