At the moment the mod only adds a crowbar for dismantling support beams. More tools may appear in the future.

Crowbar removes all support beams from a block and drops them into the world. There are several modes of use, the key combinations can be found through tooltips.

Heyo, using this mod on our server. When using the tool on a chiseld block it causes a repeating error that crashes the server.

query, could it be possible to add "Air Block" removal as part of it's function? A few mods add those to keep things from collapsing, Better Ruins, etc... annoying to not be able to build and leave "holes" creatures can go through... 

It could be something as simple as using the "/setblock SomeBlock s"  to replace air block where player is standing? But ONLY if used on Meta-filler block? Of course normally that requires op/creative to do, so there is security to think of also. 

 

/EDIT Also, thinking on it, the block replacing the air block would have to be wood or stone, since some are in the air, turned on landslide would not allow dirt, etc.

/EDIT2 turns out it can be replaced with    stick  ... LOL

So, does this mean we can finally cosplay as gordon freeman? Goated mod fr fr! Also good function as support beams are tricky to remove.
