Miner's Enchant

noticed that hammer and excavator mods are weirdly absent in the newer version of Minecraft, so ive made this mod. its a simple 3x3 area mining enchantment for Pickaxe and Shovel.

got inspired by;

• Draylar's Fabric Hammer and Excavator
• QuEnchantment , They got a more balanced implementation of this with bunch more cool enchants.

Content

the mod add a singular enchantment under the name "Excavator". its a treasure enchantment and not compatible with Fortune.

once applied it functionally turns your pickaxe into a Hammer and shovels into an excavator thus allowing 3x3 mining.

expected use case of this enchantment is the player would carry an additional tool just for area mining in conjunction with their silk touch and Fortune tools.

Issues to sort out

• Area Detection is kinda wonky but usable enough i suppose.
• to shorten the code ive made it only check if the tools HAVE the enchantment rather than if its the right tool. in vanilla it works cause only picks and shovels can get it. if you could bypass this...welll here be dragons i suppose.
