Vanilla Paxels

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Info

Since 24w12a introduced the abilty to allow any item have properties of a tool, I decided to make this datapack.

I wish Mojang will add a way to have the right click functionality of shovels / axes work on other items. This is what these paxels are missing. You can currently only use the shovel functionality (The item without the resourcepack is a shovel) to make path blocks. I will add the axe stripping wood functionality once it is implemented into the game.

Paxels are Pickaxes, Shovels, and Axes combined! You can break all of the blocks at the same speed as you would with the correct tool. You can make paxels out of any material using the same crafting recipe.

Crafting Recipe

You can enchant Paxels just like any other tool!

Enchanted in enchantment table with pickaxe enchants

I would recommend upgrading the Diamond Paxel to Netherite the way you normally upgrade a diamond tool. The recipe for the one below is a placeholder until Mojang adds custom components to crafting recipes. One downside to this is it won't have the right name and the right mining speed. (Fun Fact: Netherite has 1 more mining speed than diamond).

This is the Netherite Paxel recipe for now until Mojang adds custom components in Crafting recipes support: Netherite Paxel Recipe

FAQ

Q: I get a missing texture when trying to use this how do I fix it?
A: Make sure to download the resourcepack

Q: Where can I download the resourcepack?
A: Those who click the big download button at the top of the screen are only prompted to download the datapack and not the resourcepack. Modrinth does not show both of them in that menu. You instead have to go to the versions tab.

Where to download the resourcepack

First you have to go to the versions tab

Go to the Versions Tab

Then you go to the version you want
