Paxels
by maax_0
Paxels is a Fabric and NeoForge mod that adds a Paxel, a multi-tool that combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel into one item.
What it does
A Paxel is craftable from a matching axe, shovel and pickaxe, so a single tool covers the work of three. The mod also adds a diamond Paxel upgraded to netherite, following the path other diamond equipment takes in vanilla. Compatible enchantments carry over and improve the Paxel the same way they improve regular tools.
Right-clicking a log strips it, and right-clicking a dirt-like block turns it into a path. Holding Shift while right-clicking such a block creates farmland instead. Paxels work the correct tool for each compatible block and support the common right-click actions, so players do not need to switch items between tasks.
Installation is needed on both sides: the server and every player run the mod. Paxels targets game versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 and is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with the latest Fabric file for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file for 26.1.2. The mod is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved.
Key features
Combined multi-tool
One Paxel handles the work of a pickaxe, an axe and a shovel, so the hotbar needs fewer slots.
Crafting recipe
A Paxel is crafted by pairing an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe of the same material.
Right-click actions
Logs are stripped and dirt-like blocks are turned into paths, with farmland created when Shift is held.
Diamond and netherite tiers
A diamond Paxel can be upgraded to netherite, and enchantments on it work like those on regular tools.
