About this project

What does Handheld Excavator add?

Video Showcase:


This is a simple mod which adds a new tool that allows you to mine multiple blocks simultaneously.

The basic excavator can be crafted with a Thorium Pickaxe, 14 Thorium ingots, 8 adamantite ingots, 14 boom powder, 10 heavy leather, and 14 linen scraps.


The excavator functions the same way as the vanilla shovel, however instead of only working on dirt, gravel, and other soft blocks, it also works on any type of basic stone or ore.
