How it works

Power Tool blesses a pickaxe, axe, shovel, or hoe of gold quality or better to work in sweeping three-by-three waves.

• Mining. Breaking a block also breaks the face-connected blocks of the same kind around it, following the vein. Gaps stop the wave. The first break is free, and each extra block spends a charge.
• Depth. Right-click with a pickaxe or shovel to cycle how deep the cut goes, from one block up to fifteen. Power Tool mining rate: 3x3x3
• Trees. An axe fells the connected logs of a tree in one swing, up to 192 logs, with the canopy falling as well.
• Tilling and shaping. Hoe tilling, shovel pathing, and axe stripping also work on a three-by-three patch.

The wave only spreads when you use the right tool for the block: a pickaxe for stone, a shovel for dirt, an axe for logs.
