Simple Pickaxe 7x7
by Feaz Labs
Simple Pickaxe 7x7 lets a single pickaxe swing break a 7×7 square of blocks around the targeted block, so a long tunnel or a flat quarry floor takes far fewer actions.
What it does
The pickaxe mines a wide square centred on the block the player aims at, removing a 7×7 area in one action instead of a single block. Players use it for clearing tunnels, flattening terrain and preparing ground for a base or a quarry-style dig, where repeated single-block mining would otherwise take many clicks.
The mod is aimed at large-scale building, excavation and resource gathering. It changes only how quickly mining happens and leaves the rest of survival alone, so it does not add new systems, mechanics or balance changes, and the game keeps its vanilla feel. Simple Pickaxe 7x7 is an Apache License 2.0 project by Feaz Labs that is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
Breaks a 7×7 area
One action removes a full square area centred on the targeted block, instead of a single block.
Fast large excavation
Long digging sessions and terrain shaping go quicker, since repetitive single-block mining is replaced by one swing.
Vanilla feel kept
The mod adds no new systems, so mining keeps the behaviour players know from survival.
Focused single purpose
The pickaxe does one job, faster area mining, which keeps its design simple.
