Vanilla Paxels Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft a paxel?
Arrange the materials for a pickaxe, axe, and shovel together in the crafting grid following the standard tool recipe pattern—this creates a single paxel that combines all three tools. You can make paxels from wood, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, or any other tool material.
Do paxels mine blocks at the same speed as regular tools?
Yes, paxels break blocks at the exact same speed as the correct individual tool would, so there's no penalty for using a combined tool.
Can I enchant a paxel?
Yes, paxels can be enchanted just like any other tool using an enchanting table, anvil, or enchanted books—all standard tool enchantments work on paxels.
What enchantments should I put on a paxel?
Efficiency increases mining speed across all block types, Unbreaking extends durability, and Silk Touch or Fortune work depending on what you're harvesting; choose based on whether you prioritize speed, longevity, or resource collection.
How do I repair a paxel?
Use an anvil with the same material used to craft the paxel (e.g., iron ingots for an iron paxel), or combine two damaged paxels together to repair them.
Which paxel material should I use?
Wood and stone paxels are good for early game, iron paxels offer solid mid-game performance, diamond paxels provide high durability and speed, and netherite paxels are the strongest option with the best durability and mining speed.
Does a paxel work on all three block types at once?
A paxel functions as a pickaxe, axe, and shovel simultaneously, so it can break any block that those tools would normally break, but it only breaks one block at a time like a regular tool.
Will this data pack work with other mods or data packs?
This is a vanilla data pack, so it should work alongside most other data packs and mods that don't conflict with tool mechanics; check compatibility with any custom tool or crafting modifications you're using.
Can I use a paxel in the nether and end?
Yes, paxels work everywhere in the game—the nether, end, and overworld—just like regular tools.
Do paxels take more durability damage than regular tools?
Paxels use durability at the normal rate for the tool type and material, so there's no extra wear from combining three tools into one.
