OnlyExcavators
OnlyExcavators (v1.0.0) adds one straightforward tool line: tiered Excavators, from Wooden through Netherite, that break a multi-block area per swing instead of a single block — a low-overhead alternative to a dedicated quarry machine for manual mining. Excavation radius scales with tier, topping out at a 4-block radius for the Netherite Excavator (the widest and most durable option).
This server hand-tunes several tiers away from the mod’s own defaults, trading some durability for balance: the Iron Excavator’s durability is cut from a default of 1,300 down to 1,000, the Gold Excavator from 750 to 550, and the Redstone Excavator from 1,100 to 800, while the Emerald Excavator is trimmed slightly from 9,768 to 9,068. Obsidian, Diamond, and Netherite tiers are left at their stock durability values.
