Amethyst Pickaxes
by qlttqb
Amethyst Pickaxes adds a custom Amethyst enchantment that lets a pickaxe break a full 3x3 area in one swing, and the enchantment can be obtained by trading with villagers.
What it does
The mod is inspired by the Amethyst Pickaxe from the Donut SMP server, and its datapack brings the same item to other worlds. A player enchants a pickaxe with the Amethyst Enchantment at an anvil, and the enchanted tool then breaks nine blocks in one swing, covering the 3x3 area in front of the player. The enchantment itself is obtained through trading with villagers, so it is part of normal play rather than a command.
Because the environment is server-side only, players join a server running the mod without installing anything, and the server owner is the one who adds it. Fabric API is required for the mod to load. Amethyst Pickaxes is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across four release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
