Mining Tools Plus

This mod is outdated and won't be updated any more due to several reasons (unless by popular demand). Thank you all for feedback!

Description: This is a balanced version of my height fitted mining tools mod. The difference is that in this mod here Pickaxes and Drills get new versions that can mine 4 blocks at once, instead of the usual 3 (or 2). + Tools cost 1 bar more for pickaxes and double more for drills, as they are respectively stronger.

How it works: The mod only adds an additional version of all pickaxes (from copper and up) and all drills. The upgraded versions usually cost 1 resource (ore bars or diamonds) more for Pickaxes and double resources more for Drills. This is because pickaxes cost usually 2 resources and offer a 3 block-radius, and drills cost 6 resources and offer a 2 block-radius.

In short, the cost for the + tools is as following: Pickaxes: - copper pickaxe + 3 copper bars​ - silver pickaxe + 3 silver bars​ - gold pickaxe + 3 gold bars​ - platinum pickaxe + 3 platinum bars​ - diamond pickaxe + 3 diamonds​

Drills: - copper drill + 12 copper bars​ - silver drill + 12 silver bars​ - gold drill + 12 gold bars​ - platinum drill + 12 platinum bars​ - diamond drill + 12 diamonds​

The balancing should be a lot better now, when building a + tool instead of a normal mining tool you effectively mine faster what you are paying additionally. 4-block drills are very fun

You can upgrade them build them as usual tools on either the anvil or the advanced working table!
