Paxels StationAPI
by Kaosreven
Paxels StationAPI lets a single tool break blocks as a pickaxe, axe and shovel, and it is built on Station API for Babric.
What it does
The mod combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel roles into one paxel, so a single tool can break blocks that each of those tools would normally handle. Blocks mined with a pickaxe, an axe or a shovel are covered, and the paxel works through the same tool logic as the originals. Installation starts with StationAPI, which must be present for the mod to load.
Paxels StationAPI targets Babric and the Beta build only. Its files are published as a single build for b1.7.3, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Optional compatibility is listed for Aether on Station API and Better Than Wolves Legacy Unofficial. The author notes that the mod is meant to work with Station API and extra mod compatibility, so servers that run other Station API mods can include it as well.
Key features
Combined paxel tool
One tool serves as pickaxe, axe and shovel, removing the need to swap tools between block types.
Efficient block mining
Blocks mined by pickaxes, axes and shovels are handled by the paxel, so each block is broken with the matching tool role.
Station API foundation
The mod is built on Station API, so StationAPI must be installed with it for the paxel to register.
Compatibility with add-ons
Support for Aether on Station API and Better Than Wolves Legacy Unofficial is listed as optional.
Requirements
Dependencies declared by the latest file for each loader.
Required 1
Optional 2
Use cases
Single-tool survival
Players who want one tool for digging, chopping and clearing can carry a paxel instead of three separate tools.
Babric modpacks
Modpack builders on Babric can include the paxel next to other Station API content on the Beta build.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners running Babric on the Beta build who want one tool covering pickaxe, axe and shovel work.
How it compares
HudTweaks StationAPI is a client-side only mod under the MIT License, built for b1.7.3 on Fabric and Babric, and it adds interface changes rather than tool roles. InventoryTweaks StationAPI is client-side only under the MIT License and covers inventory handling for b1.7.3. Paxels StationAPI differs because it runs on client and server, so the server needs it too, and it changes how blocks are mined.
