Adds three tools--the excavator, the hammer, and the greataxe. These are 3x3 versions of the shovel, pickaxe, and axe, respectively. The greataxe, when used on a tree, will fell the entire tree at once.
Each tool comes in iron, gold, and diamond variants. Their recipes match their vanilla equivalents, but use blocks instead of ingots for both crafting and repair. Recipes will be added to your vanilla recipe book as you acquire the appropriate ingots.
The greataxe boasts a more accurate tree detection method than I've seen in previous mods, and should never leave floating treetops.
Inspired by the many mods that implement these tools in previous versions of MC, my goal was to make 1.14 a little less vanilla so mod-addicts like myself can finally explore the new features added since 1.12!
NOTE: I have playtested extensively and feel that the durability on the tools is well-balanced for how powerful they are. However, if you feel that they break too quickly for your taste, the config file allows you to tweak them to break more slowly.
With how much ore/metals it takes to make these tools, they should have more durability than the vanilla tools. If the durability is no better than an iron or diamond pickaxe, there's no reason to spend 27 ingots or gems to make a hammer, excavator or axe
Hello?
I made the jump to 1.14.4 and now when i use the greataxe minecraft crashes out with the error message saying something about tick speed overload. do you know what is happening?
greataxe doesnt seem to be felling trees, is there something i am missing?

Hey there! Can you tell me what version numbers you are using for:
Minecraft
Minecraft Forge
Practical Tools
So far, every time someone comes forward with a weird new bug, it's because a new Forge update broke something. I'm guessing you are using a new version of Forge than I used to develop the mod. This will help me figure out how to fix it! Thanks :)
EDIT: Given Forge's apparent volatility, I wouldn't recommend using the latest version anyways, unless it fixes some bug you are directly dealing with. The mod is tested and functioning correctly on 1.14.4-28.0.45.

I am using 1.14.3 in all three, minecraft, minecraft forge, and on practical tools.
In reply to silverwolf_1999:
Oh, I'm only supporting the newest version of Minecraft (1.14.4). The version you are using should still be working though... However I'd really recommend just making the jump to 1.14.4.

Hello?
First things fist, AMAZING MOD! Simple and really useful~
Tbh I'm new to the modding scene and I just have 1 question
- Is there any plans for adding compatibility with Non-vanilla ores? (Like with Fun Ores, Sauuuuucey's Ores, etc.)
Again, really good mod! :D
In reply to vibrantrelic87:
Thank you for your interest! Glad to see you are enjoying the mod. I don't currently have any plans to add extra tool types for non-vanilla materials. I want this mod to be as vanilla as possible. Any additional tool variants would have to be part of a separate addon mod. I could be open to doing that but would probably only do it once, for the most popular ore dicts like Thermal or IE and such. I don't think those mods have updated for 1.14 yet though.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW :D
Was the "center block is being destroy" issue ever fixed? I'm having that issue as well. Running the Vanilla Induction modpack that includes this mod. LOVE THE MOD btw. Just would like to see this little bug fixed. TY!!!
In reply to BRiM4799:
That bug is fixed in the latest version of the mod, yes. I took a look at that modpack and it says they updated Practical Tools in their latest version so maybe that includes the new fix? If not you should be able to just manually throw the new version into your mods folder and get rid of the old one without any problems.
The normal vanilla axe cuts down entire trees/wood pillars made by players. I don't think it was supposed to do that, I think only the greataxe has to act like that. Please look into it. Thanks!
My game crashes every time I use the Greataxe to topple a tree, and I see one other person has the same problem as I do. The only mod in my mods folder is Practical Tools (as well as Optifine, but it doesn't work or show up in the mod list in-game) and it was when the crash happened.
Also, when using the hammer, only 8 blocks drop, as I'm sure you already know, haha.
Here is the Great Axe crash report! http://txt.do/11hbh
Hope this bug gets fixed soon! I'd love to be able to topple annoying trees.
Edited to say the Great Axe works properly when destroying a 9x9 area of wood.
In reply to readyforit423:
I figured it out! The damn dev for Forge made some huge changes to the API, so that different versions of "Forge for 1.14.4" are vastly different and require a completely different mod. Should have a fix posted for this by tomorrow afternoon.
In reply to neurodr0me:
Fix is done and posted! It should be reviewed and ready for download within 15 minutes. Please let me know if you still have any issues (also make sure you update Forge for 1.14.4).
In reply to neurodr0me:
Woohoo!
In reply to readyforit423:
I'm guessing it worked :D
My game crashes every time I use a greataxe. Here's my crash report.
