Excavator

Excavator

A powerful enchanted mining tool for Minecraft Bedrock.

Excavator adds a custom pickaxe-style tool designed for fast creative digging, controlled survival use, and easy in-game configuration. It is built for players who want a clean, simple mining add-on without needing complex setup.

The tool uses a custom texture with diamond and gold accent styling, plus glow/shimmer-style visual polish where supported by the resource pack.

Features

Powerful Creative Excavation

In Creative mode, the Excavator can mine a large forward-facing area instead of just one block.

Current maximum excavation size:

• 5 blocks left
• 5 blocks right
• 5 blocks up
• 5 blocks down
• 5 blocks forward
• 0 blocks backwards

This makes the tool ideal for clearing tunnels, test worlds, builds, terrain, and unwanted blocks quickly.

Creative Bedrock Breaking

Creative mode excavation can destroy any block in the radius, including normally unbreakable blocks such as bedrock.

Safe Survival Behaviour

In Survival mode, the Excavator only breaks the target block.

Radius excavation is intentionally Creative-only so the tool does not accidentally destroy huge sections of a survival world.

Max Enchanted Tool

The Excavator is automatically given with powerful enchantments:

• Efficiency V
• Unbreaking III
• Fortune III
• Mending I

The add-on also includes logic to refresh missing enchantments where supported.

Sneak-Use Configuration Menu

Hold the Excavator and sneak-use to open the configuration menu.

The menu allows you to:

• Set excavation radius from 1 to 5
• Toggle auto collection
• Re-apply max enchantments
• View current tool status

Auto Collection

When enabled, drops from excavated blocks are pulled back to the player after mining.

This helps reduce item loss and makes large clearing jobs much easier.

Commands Included

The add-on includes function commands for quick setup and fallback control.

Give yourself the Excavator:

/function excavator/give_excavator

Open the configuration menu:

/function excavator/config

Set maximum radius:

/function excavator/set_radius_max

Check status/debug info:

/function excavator/debug_status

Legacy radius commands from older versions are still present, but anything above radius 5 is now clamped to 5.

/function excavator/give_excavator

1. Hold the Excavator.

Important Notes

• Radius excavation is Creative-only.
• Survival mode only breaks one block at a time.
• Creative mode can destroy bedrock.
• Auto collection pulls drops toward the player after excavation.
• Very large clearing actions may still depend on world performance, ticking, and device capability.
• This is a Minecraft Bedrock add-on and requires the Behaviour Pack and Resource Pack to both be active.

• Creative world editing
