What it does

Unusual Drill adds efficient tools that break a 3x3 area of blocks at once, in the form of drills and saws. Each tool comes in tiers built from materials such as iron, gold, nether bricks, blaze rods, ghast tears and totems of undying, with higher tiers used for higher-tier tools. A multidrill breaks blocks of one type across a larger patch. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files exist for 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 on Forge, and the latest is 1.18_V2.1 for 1.18.2. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source. The project is discontinued.
