Taetoe Paxels
by Libbytato
Taetoe Paxels adds a single tool type that combines an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe into one item, and the tools can be enchanted like their vanilla counterparts.
What it does
Each paxel keeps the abilities of the tools it replaces: it can strip wood, break shields like an axe, and turn dirt into paths like a shovel. Because the three functions share one slot, a player carries one tool where three would otherwise be needed. The trade-off is that a paxel digs slightly slower than the individual tool it replaces, and a chart in the mod shows the exact speed difference per material, with higher numbers meaning faster. Paxels cost a little more to craft than the separate tools they make up.
Because datapacks support custom items, the author has added commands that give paxels to players. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21.6 – 1.21.9. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The code is not open source and is licensed under All rights reserved. It has no required dependencies.
Key features
Combined axe, shovel and pickaxe
One paxel handles the work of three tools, so inventory space is saved for other items.
Vanilla enchantments
Paxels accept enchantments in the same way as normal tools, since they are treated internally like the other tools.
Retained tool abilities
Paxels keep the axe's ability to strip wood and disable shields, and the shovel's ability to make paths from dirt.
Speed chart
A chart in the mod lists the digging speed of each paxel, so players can compare it with the separate tools.
