Mine faster and wider with Simple Excavators!
This lightweight Fabric mod adds a collection of powerful excavators that break 3×3 areas of blocks at once — perfect for tunneling, terraforming, or clearing space in seconds.
Features
- Excavators can be crafted from several materials: Wooden, Stone, Copper, Iron, Emerald, Diamond, and Netherite excavators
- All excavators can mine a 3x3 area
- Hold Shift to mine a single block for precision work
- Durability and sneak mining can be configured
- Excavators can also make 3x3 or 1x1 paths!
Issues & Feedback
If you find any issues, report them on our Github issues page for this mod.
If you would like me to port the mod to other version, feel free to let me know. I don't plan to port it to versions older than 1.20.1 tho as there's already enough good mods with excavators.

Check out my other projects at my website!
Each excavator is crafted from a handle and a head (compatible with handle from Simple Hammers)
Wooden Head can use any planks and Stone Head can use cobblestone, cobbled deepslate and blackstone
Any planks can be used, compatible with handle from Simple Hammers
Use the smithing table to make a netherite excavator
