Another pickaxe
by Redynine
Another pickaxe, by Redynine, adds new kinds of pickaxe with different abilities for players who want more than the standard 3-by-3 tool.
What it does
The mod adds several pickaxe types with abilities beyond the vanilla tool, including pickaxes that carry torches and an explosive pickaxe. Players who tire of the same crafting recipe can use these as alternatives while keeping the usual mining routine. Files are released for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, and the latest file is 2.1 for 1.20.1 on Forge and 2.1 for 1.20.4 on NeoForge. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Torch pickaxes
Pickaxes that place torches as they dig, so a tunnel gets lit while it is cut.
Explosive pickaxe
A pickaxe with an explosive ability that breaks several blocks at once in a larger area.
Extra pickaxe types
New pickaxe variants with different abilities join the vanilla 3-by-3 recipe and the standard pickaxes.
