About this project
What does Phoenix Excavate add?
Phoenix Excavate is a simple and easy to use vein miner mod.
With 5 veinmining modes (Staircase, Shapeless, Blob, Layer, and Wall) your world is your playground. To activate Excavate hold down the ~ key by default (shift+keybind+scroll to change modes). Sounds are controlled so your ears don't die when you veinmine.
There is also an ingame settings menu accessed by default keybind O to control how Excavate behaves in your world. Some major settings include veinmine outline render colors, Match Mode (the types of blocks it mines) with configurable pages, if vein mining takes hunger, if block breaking in general costs hunger, if Excavate respects tool durability and enchantments, if the keybind acts as a toggle instead of a hold-down, and if it can see diagonal blocks.
All of these settings have file only configs to turn off the player controlling them ingame.
Support for Phoenix Guilds, Phoenix Domains, FTBTeams, and FTBChunks is included.
An Omnicron Industries Project under the PhoenixSuite.
