About this project

What does Mining Tools add?

This mod introduces (as of right now) 2 new Mining Tools, the Excavator and the Mining Hammer. The Excavator can be used in place of a shovel and the Mining Hammer can be used in place of the Pickaxe.

The best feature about both tools is that they have different tool modes. These Tool Modes will allow you to break more than just one block at a time. You can choose to mine in a 1x2, 2x2, 3x3, or even a checkerboard pattern that makes getting Raw Stone much easier.

These new modes come at a price though. Each tool uses 3 Ingots worth of metal to be created, but the different modes are worth the extra cost!
