Excavate
Area mining enchantment for NeoForge 1.21.1.
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.
