About this Mod

Porting information for 26.1 update

1.19+ was merged with Vanilla Hammers and is available as Simply Tools.

Vanilla Hammers adds a few excavators to Minecraft 1.14+ which can mine a 3x3 area. The excavator is like a shovel, so you can mine dirt and sandy materials.

This mod was originally made by Draylar for Fabric and I ported the mod and took all it's textures to Forge. I hope you enjoy the mod as much as I while making it.
