Excavate – Mine Smarter, Not Harder

Tired of chopping trees or mining ores one block at a time?
Excavate lets you break multiple connected blocks instantly while keeping the experience completely vanilla-friendly and achievements-compatible.

This addon introduces a smarter way to dig, mine, and chop, processing each block with a short delay to keep performance stable and prevent lag even during large excavations.
Whether you want to clear entire ore veins, build tunnels, or fell trees in one go, Excavate gives you full control.

Fully Configurable

Every player can personalize their excavation behavior using the in-game menu or commands.
You can choose what blocks are excavatable, how far the ability reaches, and which shape defines your digging pattern.

Available Shapes:

Vein (Shapeless) – Classic ore or tree vein mining mode.
Tree Capitator - Chops entire tree with 1 swing
Vein Miner - Mines a whole ore vein at once
Line – Mines straight forward, ideal for quick tunnels.
Small Tunnel – Perfect 1×2 tunnels for early exploration.
Large Tunnel – Instantly clears a 3×3 path.

Each shape can be toggled or fine-tuned to match your preferred gameplay.

Configuration Menu

The configuration menu allows you to:

Add or remove blocks from your personal whitelist
Change your current Shape Mode
Adjust your Block Limit
Enable or disable excavation on demand

Everything is designed for simplicity, quick setup, no command knowledge required.

Admin Controls

Admins can fine-tune global excavation behavior:

Set the Global Block Limit to control the maximum number of blocks excavated at once.
Add / Remove from Blacklist to decide which blocks can never be excavated.
Add / Remove from Default List to edit the default allowed blocks for new players.
Toggle Consume Durability to decide if excavation damages tools.
Toggle Consume Saturation to decide if excavation consumes hunger.

This ensures a fair, optimized, and lag-free experience for everyone.
