Moar Pickaxes

Moar Pickaxes

The Moar Pickaxes datapack adds a bunch of new pickaxe types to the game. This pack doesn’t focus on statistical upgrades but instead aims to add picks that have special abilities or traits. Because of this, it fits in very nicely with the other datapacks in the ‘Moar’ series. This pack was commissioned to be made for the CAMP Minecraft YouTube series. They were kind enough to let us post it, so please go thank them for letting us do so.

You can craft them in the Vanilla Crafting Table. All recipes can all be found HERE, or in-game in the Recipe Guide

The datapack REQUIRES this Library, as well as this Resource Pack.

Free Pickaxes

• Molten Pickaxe:
The Molten Pickaxe is able to auto-smelt mined blocks into their smelted forms. This works on ores, stones, and some other blocks. Besides that, it is just a regular diamond pickaxe.


• Miner’s Pickaxe:
The Miner’s Pickaxe digs a 3x2x1 hole in front of you. Essentially it digs out a strip mine 3 blocks at a time, which saves you time breaking blocks. However, it has a low mining level, meaning that only stones and other weak blocks can be mined. It is unable to break the higher tier ores as well.


• Diamond Miner’s Pickaxe:
Diamond version of the Miner’s Pickaxe. Mines out a 5x2x1 space in front of you.


• Tunnelers Pickaxe:
The Tunneler’s Pickaxe mines out a 3x3x1 space centered around the block you break. This is great for excavating large spaces. It is unable to break “weak stones”, however. This list includes stones, netherrack, sandstone, concrete, and more.

The Diamond Tunneler’s Pickaxe works just like the regular Tunneler’s Pickaxe, but has diamond durability. When enchanted with efficiency 5 and a haste 2 beacon you can instant-mine.
