Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC]

Minecraft has always been about efficiency, and the Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC] mod takes that philosophy to a whole new level. This clever add-on introduces hybrid tools that combine the functions of two separate items into one, saving inventory space and streamlining your workflow. But it does not stop there — it also overhauls pistons with extended push limits and adds a suite of other mechanical tweaks. Whether you are a builder, a miner, or a redstone engineer, this Fabric mod brings fresh utility to your blocky world.

Meet the Pulaski: Axe and Adze in One

The Pulaski is a tool with a fascinating real-world inspiration. In Minecraft, one end functions exactly like a standard axe, chopping wood with the same speed and durability you would expect. The other end, however, is an adze — a tool traditionally used for ground clearing. Since Minecraft does not have a direct adze equivalent, the mod cleverly maps this to a hoe. That means your Pulaski can fell trees and till soil in a single item slot. It is perfect for adventurers who need to gather wood and prepare farmland without constantly switching tools.

All vanilla materials are supported, from humble wood and stone all the way up to netherite. Crafting follows a logical pattern: replace the planks in an axe recipe with the corresponding hoe material. For example, an iron Pulaski requires an iron axe and an iron hoe. Netherite upgrades work just like any other netherite tool — combine a diamond Pulaski with a netherite ingot in a smithing table, or craft it directly using netherite ingots and a netherite hoe. This consistency makes the Pulaski feel like a natural extension of the vanilla game.

The Shaxe: Mining and Digging Combined

If the Pulaski is the forester’s dream, the Shaxe is the miner’s best friend. This hybrid tool merges a pickaxe and a shovel into one formidable implement. The pickaxe end mines stone, ores, and other hard blocks, while the shovel end digs dirt, sand, and gravel. It can also create grass paths by right-clicking, just like a regular shovel. The Shaxe eliminates the need to carry two separate tools when caving or landscaping, freeing up precious inventory space for more loot.

Like the Pulaski, the Shaxe is available in every vanilla material tier. Crafting is intuitive: combine a pickaxe and a shovel of the same material. For netherite, you can either upgrade a diamond Shaxe with a netherite ingot or craft it from scratch using netherite ingots and a netherite shovel. The mod’s adherence to vanilla recipes ensures that even new players can figure out the crafting process without consulting a wiki.

Advanced Pistons with Unprecedented Push Limits

Pistons are a cornerstone of redstone engineering, but their default 12-block push limit can be frustrating. Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC] for Minecraft introduces five new piston types, each with its own extended reach, plus sticky variants for all of them. The lineup includes:

• Wooden Piston: 6-block limit, crafted entirely from planks and redstone.
• Golden Piston: 24-block limit, using gold ingots instead of iron.
• Diamond Piston: 48-block limit, with diamond gems replacing iron.
• Netherite Piston: 96-block limit, crafted with netherite ingots.
• Netherite Block Piston: A staggering 864-block limit, using a full netherite block in the recipe.

These pistons open up massive possibilities for mega-builds, automated farms, and complex machinery. The wooden piston, while weaker, is a cheap early-game option for simple contraptions. The netherite block piston, on the other hand, can move entire structures across vast distances. Sticky variants are crafted by adding a slime ball, just like in vanilla. The mod also includes more piston control features, giving you finer command over block movement and timing.

Other Features and Randomization Options

Beyond tools and pistons, Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC] packs several quality-of-life improvements. A bedrock breaker is included for those who want to reshape the very foundation of the world. Shulker nesting allows you to place shulker boxes inside other shulker boxes, a long-requested feature for inventory management. The mod also adds randomization options, which can be used to create unpredictable redstone outputs — perfect for mini-games or adventure maps. These extras make the mod feel like a comprehensive utility pack rather than just a tool expansion.

How to Install Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC]

Getting started with this mod is straightforward, but there are a few critical requirements. First, you need the Fabric Loader and the correct version of Fabric API for your Minecraft version. The mod supports multiple versions, including 1.19.4, 1.20.1, and 1.20.4. For builds 1.4.0 and above, Fabric Kotlin is also required. Always double-check that your Fabric API matches your game version exactly — mismatched APIs are the most common cause of crashes. If you encounter issues, ensure you have the latest compatible files and consult the mod’s comments section with a crash log if problems persist.

If you are looking for a hassle-free way to download Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC], consider using a launcher that supports integrated mod management. The foxygame.net launcher, for instance, includes this add-on in its catalog, allowing you to install it with a single click while automatically handling version compatibility and dependencies. Once installed, simply craft your new tools and pistons using the recipes described above, and you are ready to dig, chop, and push like never before.

Compatibility and Future Plans

This mod is built exclusively for Fabric, and there are currently no plans for a Forge version. The developer has stated that the codebase relies on Fabric-specific features, so a port is not feasible. However, the mod is actively maintained, with upcoming features including more randomization options and further piston control enhancements. The community is encouraged to report bugs and suggest improvements, especially if crashes occur — just be sure to provide a crash log via Pastebin or Hastebin for faster troubleshooting.

In summary, Pulaskis and Shaxes [FABRIC] is a must-have for players who value efficiency and creativity. The dual-purpose tools reduce inventory clutter, while the advanced pistons push the boundaries of redstone engineering. With support for all vanilla materials and a growing list of extra features, this mod fits seamlessly into any Fabric-based Minecraft world. Whether you are clearing land, mining deep, or building colossal machines, these tools and pistons will change the way you play.
