It'd be great if it was a craftable pickaxe, like using blocks instead of ingots. I can't play MC often enough to do all the heavy grinding/ mining so it would be sweet if we could add a pickaxe to mine larger areas, with the consequence of it costing more and affecting durability. It is an OP item but I feel for people who cant play as often, its a nice vanilla tweak (excuse the pun) to survival play. Been adding some quality of life datapacks to my world and was looking for a more reliable mining experience. Given huge props to vein miner is amazing but I'd really like to make my tunnels more aesthetic by making it bigger and easier to navigate.
TL;DR: I'm lazy.
