Mining Tools is a Vintage Story mod by pap1723. Mining Tools adds the Excavator and Mining Hammer, upgraded shovel and pickaxe alternatives with area-mining modes.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who regularly clear soil or stone and want to reduce repetitive digging and mining. Its area modes are especially useful for excavation and collecting raw stone.
What Mining Tools adds
Mining Tools introduces two specialized implements. The Excavator works as a shovel replacement, while the Mining Hammer takes the place of a pickaxe for breaking stone and similar blocks.
Both tools offer selectable patterns instead of being limited to one block per use. Available shapes include 1x2, 2x2, 3x3, and a checkerboard layout, letting you adapt the tool to narrow digging, broad clearing, or efficient raw-stone collection.
The extra coverage comes with a higher crafting cost: each tool requires three metal ingots. That investment can pay off quickly when clearing large areas or opening up stone deposits.
