From ModrinthTiered excavators capable of mining in a 3x3 area
About
Tired of endless terraforming in Minecraft? Use an excavator!
This mod adds excavators that function like shovels but in a 3x3 area which greatly simplifies terraforming and digging in the middle and late stages of the game.
How It Works
To obtain an excavator, you must first find a new smithing template to upgrade your shovel. It can be found in villages: most often in the weaponsmiths, toolsmiths, and armorers houses, less often in regular houses.
Using a smithing template and a block of appropriate material on a smithing table, you can upgrade your shovel to a brand new excavator.
