Description

# About **Tired of endless terraforming in Minecraft? Use an excavator!** This mod adds excavators that function like shovels but in a 3x3 area which greatly simplifies terraforming and digging in the middle and late stages of the game. # How It Works To obtain an excavator, you must first find a new smithing template to upgrade your shovel. It can be found in villages: most often in the weaponsmiths, toolsmiths, and armorers houses, less often in regular houses. Using a smithing template and a block of appropriate material on a smithing table, you can upgrade your shovel to a brand new excavator. ![Recipes](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/2a268127cf12bd23323302f7edae92e874f67b48.png) # FAQ **Q:** Will you port Simplest Excavators to Fabric?\ **A:** No, we usually only use Neoforge **Q:** Will you back-port Simplest Excavators to X version?\ **A:** No, we don't usually back-port
