About this project

What does Dex Tools add?

Dex_tools-2.0-neoforge-1.21.8:

TNTPICKAXE:

TNTPICKAXE is an explosive, high‑powered Minecraft mod that introduces a brand‑new pickaxe infused with the destructive force of TNT. This tool isn’t just for mining — it’s built for power, speed, and aerial mobility, giving players a whole new way to explore and dominate their world.

Features

💥 TNT‑Powered Mining

The TNTPICKAXE breaks blocks with explosive force. Every swing unleashes a controlled blast that clears large areas instantly, making it perfect for:

  • Fast strip‑mining

  • Clearing tunnels

  • Excavating huge builds

The explosions are player‑safe, meaning you won’t blow yourself up while using it.

🛫 Flight Ability

Hold the TNTPICKAXE and activate its special ability to launch yourself into the air. The explosive propulsion lets you:

  • Fly across long distances

  • Escape danger

  • Reach high places instantly

  • Explore caves from above

The flight is powered by the pickaxe’s internal TNT energy, giving it a unique feel compared to elytra or creative flight.

🔥 Late‑Game Crafting

The TNTPICKAXE is intentionally expensive to craft, requiring rare materials and large amounts of TNT. This keeps it balanced while still feeling incredibly powerful once you obtain it.

Why Use TNTPICKAXE

If you want a tool that’s fun, chaotic, and ridiculously strong, this mod delivers. It turns mining into a spectacle and movement into an explosive adventure.
