Excavate

Area mining enchantment for NeoForge 1.21.1.

!Mod preview, Excavation II

Excavation I affects a 3x3 area. Excavation II affects a 5x5 area. Crouch to use single-block interactions.

How it works

• Enchant any pickaxe, axe, shovel, or hoe
• Mine a block and the surrounding area breaks as well
• Hoe tilling, shovel pathing, and axe stripping also affect the surrounding area
• Each block drops its own correct loot
• Only blocks your tool can actually mine are affected
• Tool takes durability per block broken and stops if it breaks
• Unbreakable blocks (bedrock, etc.) are never affected

Crop harvesting

Hoes with Excavation harvest mature crops in an area. Auto-replant is enabled by default and one seed is consumed from each crop's drops to replant it. If no seed drops, that crop is left empty. You can toggle auto-replant in the config screen.

Configuration

Open the config screen from the Mods menu. Settings:

Setting	Scope	Default	Description
Show Highlight	Client	On	Show the area outline preview
Auto-Replant	Common	On	Replant crops automatically when area-harvesting
Area Hoe Tilling	Common	On	Let hoes till dirtlike blocks in an area
Area Shovel Pathing	Common	On	Let shovels create dirt paths in an area
Area Axe Actions	Common	On	Let axes strip logs and apply other right-click axe actions in an area
