Terraform

Terraform gives you professional-grade building tools that make large-scale terrain editing actually fun. Every tool is craftable in survival.

Mines a 3x3 horizontal area of pickaxe-compatible blocks in one swing.

Crafting Recipe:

Terraform Pickaxe recipe

Works on: stone, cobblestone, deepslate, ores, bricks, nether bricks, basalt, blackstone, end stone, quartz, amethyst, and all _ORE / _BLOCK materials.

Digs a 3x3 horizontal area of shovel-compatible blocks in one swing.

Crafting Recipe:

Terraform Shovel recipe

Works on: grass, dirt, sand, gravel, clay, soul sand, snow, and more.

Breaks a 3x3 area of crops (wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart) in one swing. Right-click dirt/grass to till a 3x3 area instantly.

Crafting Recipe:

Terraform Hoe recipe

Hold sneak and break to dig a 3x3x3 cube at once. The ultimate pit-digging and tunnel-starting tool.

Crafting Recipe:

Excavator recipe

Works on pickaxe and shovel materials. Durability cost is halved for the 27 blocks (configurable).

Right-click any block face to extend the pattern. Places up to a 3x3 wall of the same block type in one click, consuming blocks from your inventory.

Crafting Recipe:

Builder's Wand recipe

  • Max 64 blocks per use (configurable)
  • Only places into empty air spaces
  • Durability cost per block is 0 by default

Right-click a block to flood-fill replace all connected blocks of that type with the block held in your off-hand.

Crafting Recipe:

Replace Wand recipe

  • Max 64 blocks per use (configurable)
  • Radius: 8 blocks (configurable)
  • Cannot replace tile entities (chests, furnaces, etc.)

Hold sneak and break a pickaxe block to carve a forward tunnel — 3 blocks long, 2 blocks high — in the direction you’re facing.

Crafting Recipe:

Tunneler recipe

The fastest way to mine long distances. Automatically breaks the center block plus the tunnel ahead of you.

  • The Builder’s Wand is the most powerful tool for large builds — learn it first
  • Replace Wand saves hours of manual block replacement
  • Tunneler + Excavator combo makes strip mining incredibly fast
  • Tools are balanced around being endgame items — the recipes are expensive but achievable
  • All tools play sound effects and spawn particles when used
