Description

The idea behind Better Pickaxe Trims is to make mining and exploring a bit more exciting by adding new ways to upgrade your pickaxes. Using a special smithing template and a set of familiar ores, you can give your tools small but meaningful boosts that depend on the material you choose.

Each pickaxe upgrade offers its own effect, mixing the concept of smithing templates already in the game with the classic feel of pickaxes made from the usual materials.

Do you need a server to play with your friends?

If you are looking for a server to play any mod or modpack with your friends, Bisect Hosting is your solution! They have the best quality-price Minecraft servers, and if you click on this link you will get a 25% discount, using the code "Lupin".

What kind of upgrades are there?
All the pickaxes (from iron to netherite) can be mixed on the smithing table using the new template and the following list of materials:
- Quartz: gives you more experience when picking ores.

- Emerald: gives you the possibility that each ore will give you x2 of the ore it contains, but not always.

- Lapis Lazuli: When you mine a ore, all ores of the same type will glow for 2 minutes.

- Weeping Obsidian: breaks any block in a 3x3 range.

- Redstone: allows you to chop all connected ores at the same time.

- Copper: adds additional durability.

Of course, we have added a configuration file that you can find in the “config” folder, where you can adjust some of the spike enhancements, based on your game preferences.

Where can I get the new blacksmithing template “Fracture”?
You can get it in two different ways, if you are one of those who prefer to explore, you can find it inside the chests of all the classic Minecraft structures (villages, pyramids, etc.).
On the other hand, if you prefer to craft, you can craft it using four copper ingots, two iron ingots and one emerald.
