The True Paxels
by JustErikSK
The True Paxels lets a single paxel tool dig stone, ore, wood, dirt and leaves, with several material tiers from wooden to netherite.
What it does
Paxels combine the work of a pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe in one item, so a player switches tools less often while building or clearing ground. A paxel crafts from several materials, and the tiers run from wooden through stone, copper, iron, diamond and netherite, each with its own durability. The durability of paxels is configurable, so a server owner can set how quickly they wear out.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 14 release versions, with the latest files built for 26.3. Installing it on a server and on every player's client is required, since the environment is client and server. Released under the MIT License, the source code is open source and public, with an issue tracker for reports.
Key features
One tool for many blocks
A single paxel digs stone, ore, wood, dirt, leaves and other common blocks without swapping items.
Material tiers
Paxels craft from wooden, stone, copper, iron, diamond and netherite materials, each tier mining faster.
Ground shaping
Paxels can turn dirt into dirt paths, till it into farmland, and strip wood logs, which speeds up farm and base setup.
Configurable durability
The durability of each paxel can be adjusted in the config, so servers can tune how long the tools last.

What the author says
If you would like me to port the mod to other version, feel free to let me know. I don't plan to port it to versions older than 1.20.1 tho as there's already enough good mods with paxels. Check out my other projects at my website!
