About this project

What does Simple 3x3 Pickaxes add?

3x3 Pickaxes adds survival-friendly wide mining tools to Minecraft.

Craft special 3x3 versions of every vanilla pickaxe tier and mine a full 3x3 area with one block break. Drops are sent directly into your inventory, XP still drops normally, and enchantments like Fortune, Silk Touch, Unbreaking, Mending, and Efficiency work like you would expect.

The mod is designed to stay simple and server-friendly. Instead of adding custom textured items, the tools are based on vanilla pickaxes with a special green name and lore, making them easier to use on servers and crossplay setups.

Compatibility
