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.
Credits:
Thanks to Yoghurt4C for the textures, and thanks to everyone who helped improve the original Vanilla Hammers.
I believe I found a bug with DynaGear, or at least Cotton Resources. For some reason, DynaGear excavators use the same recipe as hammers. Vanilla materials and Nether Things materials use the proper recipe.

In reply to Pinalesjr:
Oh boy, you're right... going to look into this tomorrow. Thanks for the report!
please please please make a better version of the Paxel mod to go along with Vanilla Hammers and this one, the other one sucks and doesn't have support for nether things or other stuff.
Does it mean it's complementary with vanilla hammer, the excavator being abble to mine dirt, sand, and other shovel stuff in 3x3 or it's only a design change ?
In reply to Teneombre:
You can use them together, yes. It's the same idea but for dirt/sand instead of stone.
Oh man I've been waiting for this
Thank you so much i just asked a few days ago about this and you already completed it. Thanks again love your work and iam sure this will not dissappoint.
