You asked, and I delivered! Vanilla Excavators is a shovel alternative to Vanilla Hammers.

This mod was designed on top of Vanilla Hammers. All mechanics are very similar, so they have identical configuration systems and materials.

Compatibility:

  DynaGear can be used to add new Excavators based on custom materials.

  Nether Things has 3 new Excavator materials based on their content!

License:

  Vanilla Excavators is GPLv3. You are free to use it as you wish.

  Thanks to Yoghurt4C for the textures, and thanks to everyone who helped improve the original Vanilla Hammers.
