Excavate

Excavate

Area mining enchantment for NeoForge 1.21.1.

Excavation I affects a 3×3 area.
Excavation II affects a 5×5 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.

Configuration

Open the config screen from the Mods menu. Settings:

| Setting | Scope | Default | Description |
| ——————– | —— | ——- | ———————————————————— |
| Show Highlight | Client | On | Show the area outline preview |
| Auto-Replant | Common | On | Replant crops automatically when area-harvesting |
