Only Paxel

by TheGabo56

Only Paxel combines a pickaxe, axe and shovel into one tool, so a single item can dig and chop.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.17.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

The mod lets players craft combined tools, called paxels, from the pickaxe, axe and shovel recipes, starting with a wooden version and continuing through to netherite. Paxels are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.8, and both the server and every player need the mod. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Combined pickaxe, axe and shovel

    A paxel works as a pickaxe, an axe and a shovel, so the right tool is always in one slot.

  2. Wooden to netherite tiers

    Paxels are craftable at every material tier, including netherite versions.

  3. Updated textures and achievements

    Later releases redesigned the paxel textures, added two new paxels and two achievements, and included a Spanish translation.
