Better Ice Axe
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.
Better Ice Axe is a mod that can radically change your gaming experience, adding new sensations to exploring the world and diving into mines. Now traveling will cease to be a routine: familiar routes will seem fresher and more exciting, and each descent underground will give you additional emotions and new challenges.
🧊⛏️ Ice Axe
Very easy to craft. And very useful in the early game. Full guileplay with it is revealed when using two copies.
- Climbing - to climb, you need to take the Ice Axe in both hands and press RBM alternately to climb.
- Hook - to hook onto a block, press Shift and RBM. Then the pick will hook onto the block and you will be able to stand on it. But do not remove the Shift key, so as not to fall.
- Descending / Sliding - Go to the edge, take one ice axe in your hand and hold RBM while descending, looking at the wall from which you are descending.
