Description

The Excavator

⛏️ Mine Smarter, Not Harder

The Excavator adds a powerful multi-mode pickaxe that lets you break large areas of blocks with ease. Whether you're digging tunnels, clearing mines, or gathering resources, The Excavator speeds up the process while giving you full control through an intuitive radial menu.


✨ Features

🔨 Excavator Pickaxe

The Excavator Pickaxe can switch between multiple mining modes:

  • 1×1 Mining
  • 2×2 Mining
  • 3×3 Mining
  • 4×4 Mining

Instantly swap between modes using the radial menu to match any mining situation.


📜 Custom Enchantments

The mod includes three unique enchantments:

🔥 Auto Smelt

Automatically smelts compatible ores when mined.

Examples:

  • Iron Ore → Iron Ingot
  • Gold Ore → Gold Ingot

⛏️ Vein Miner

Break an entire connected ore vein with a single block break.

Perfect for quickly gathering large amounts of resources.

undefined

Also works with any other block.

🧊 Silk Touch

Collect blocks in their original form, just like the vanilla Silk Touch enchantment.

undefined

Note that you can only toggle this version of silk touch, the vanilla enchantment will be always enabled and is also not compatible on a pickaxe that already has silk toggle installed. You also can't put fortune on a silk toggle pickaxe.


🎯 Radial Menu

Access all Excavator settings through a convenient radial menu.

From the menu, you can:

  • Change mining size (1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4)
  • Enable or disable Auto Smelt
  • Enable or disable Vein Miner
  • Enable or disable Silk Touch

Customize your mining experience on the fly without opening inventories or commands.


🚀 Why Use The Excavator?

  • Faster mining
  • Less repetitive digging
  • Flexible mining modes
  • Powerful toggleable enchantments
  • Simple and intuitive controls

Whether you're building massive projects or exploring deep underground, The Excavator is designed to make mining more efficient and enjoyable.


📦 Compatibility

  • Designed for Minecraft 1.21.1

Happy Mining! ⛏️
