3x3 tools (made of netherite, diamond, or iron): holding Shift allows them to mine in 1x1 mode, while normal use mines in 3x3 mode. There are also massive versions of these tools, specifically a 5x5 shovel and a 5x5 hammer (sledgehammer). Following the 2.0.0 update, diamond and netherite gloves were added; these allow standard tools to be used over a larger area, ranging from 3x3 to 5x5.
