Zeph's Excavators

by ZephaniahNoah

Zeph's Excavators adds excavator tools that break several blocks at once, from a 3x3 area down to a single block when the player sneaks.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.20.1

What it does

Lots of shovels break a 3x3 area in one swing, and some excavators do the same. Sneaking while breaking limits the action to one block. Excavators can also be crafted from ores added by other mods, so players who install ore mods get more tool options. Crafting needs Ez Mod Lib, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Area mining

    Shovels and excavators break every block in a 3x3 area when used on a block.

  2. Single-block mode

    Sneaking while breaking limits the effect to one block, so precise mining stays possible.

  3. Ore-based crafting

    Ores from other mods can be used in recipes for more excavator variants.
