Simplest Paxels
by Team Solar
Simplest Paxels combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel into one tool, called a paxel, that players can craft in tiers.
What it does
Players who would otherwise carry several vanilla tools can use a single paxel for mining stone, chopping wood and digging soil. The paxels are craftable at a crafting table, combining the three functions of a pickaxe, axe and shovel in one item, which reduces inventory clutter during long sessions.
Installation runs on Forge and NeoForge, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. Forge's latest file is 1.0.5 for 1.20.1, and NeoForge's is 1.0.6 for 26.2.
Key features
Tiered paxels
Paxels come in tiers, and each tier combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel functions into one tool.
Craftable at a crafting table
A paxel is made at a crafting table from the materials of its tier, so no special machine is needed.
Fewer vanilla tools
One paxel replaces separate tools, so the inventory holds less while switching between mining and digging stays quick.
