Special Excavators: Obsidian, Ender, and More

Beyond the Basic Tiers

The mod includes many excavators beyond wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamond. These include the Obsidian Excavator, Ender Excavator, Fiery Excavator, Glowstone Excavator, Lapis Excavator, Emerald Excavator, Prismarine Excavator, Quartz Excavator, Redstone Excavator, Slime Excavator, Coal Excavator, Bone Excavator, and Paper Excavator.

What They Are For

  • Obsidian Excavator: for players who need to dig obsidian or work near lava. Obsidian is normally slow to break, so a dedicated excavator helps.
  • Ender Excavator: an End-themed excavator for players working in the End.
  • Fiery Excavator: a Nether-themed excavator, useful alongside the Nether Excavator.
  • Glowstone Excavator: themed around glowstone, handy in the Nether.
  • Lapis, Redstone, Coal, Quartz, Emerald, Prismarine, Slime, Bone, and Paper Excavators: material-themed variants that follow the same 3x3 digging behavior.

Crafting Them

Each of these is made with a shaped crafting recipe at a crafting table, using its themed material plus sticks. Gather the matching material first, then arrange it in the excavator pattern. Treat them as specialized tools: pick the one whose material matches the biome or dimension you are working in.
