About this Mod
This datapack adds advanced tools that add the ability to mine 3x3 blocks, cut whole trees and harvest with a right click.
Requires general GalLab resourcepack
Hammer

Works like a pickaxe, but mines 3x3 blocks.
Netherite Hammer mines a 3x3x3 area.
If you take the Ender Pearl in the second hand, then the stone will not drop.
For the extraction of blocks, a system of heredity works. When mining more harder blocks, such as obsidian, less hard blocks will also be mined, but not vice versa, even if the level of Vein Miner allows you to get a more harder block.
Excavator

Works like a shovel, but digs a 3x3 area.
The Diamond Excavator mines all the sand and gravel above the excavation site.
The Netherite Excavator also digs the 3x3x3 area and all the sand and gravel above.
Lumberjack Axe

Cuts down a whole tree.
If you take any hoe or shears in the second hand, then this tool will be used to break the leaves.
Vein Miner

Mines the entire vein of ore.
Diamond and Netherite Vein Miner glows the mined ore for a while.
For mining ores, a system of heredity works. When mining a harder ore, such as Ancient Debris, a less hard ore will also be mined, but not vice versa, even if the Vein Miner level allows you to mine a harder ore.
Sickle

Harvests by right click.
Diamond Sickle harvests in a 3x3 area, Netherite - 5x5.
Trivia
All tools except the Sickle will consume a small amount of food.
Hammer and Vein Miner slightly slows the player down when the tool is in hand.
Any vanilla enchantments are supported for all tools. With one exception, due to Minecraft restrictions, you can't enchant Fortune on a Sickle in the vanilla way, so to do this you need to throw a Sickle and an enchantment book with Fortune on an anvil.

Server lagging with HephaesTools – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HephaesTools consumes the most tick time.
