Compatibility and Troubleshooting

Compatibility and Troubleshooting

Supported versions and platforms

Minimum Bedrock version	1.26.30
Platforms	Windows, Android, iOS, and consoles through a Realm
Graphics	Standard graphics and Vibrant Visuals
Experimental toggles	None required
Cheats	Not required for any player-facing feature
Dependencies	None
Achievement compatible	Yes — verified in a cheats-off survival world with no experiments
Dimensions	Overworld, Nether, and End
Multiplayer	Single-player, multiplayer, Realms, and compatible Bedrock servers

Both packs must be active and both declare the same minimum engine version. Joining players must accept the Resource Pack or they will not see tool sprites or outlines.

Settings storage

Setting	Stored on	Shared?
Tool availability (the five family toggles)	The world	Yes — every player is affected
Break shape (pattern, orientation, sizes)	Per player	No
Seeder Rake crop choice	Per player	No
Tiller layout and irrigation toggles	Per player	No

All of these survive add-on updates. Tool items already in inventories and chests keep working across updates — the internal identifiers do not change.

Known limits

• The break region is capped at 125 blocks (5 × 5 × 5). This is deliberate, to keep a single swing from stalling a server tick.
• Previews are capped at 128 outlines per refresh. In a very dense meadow the Scythe outline may show fewer blocks than the sweep will actually clear.
• The Tiller works on a single horizontal layer. It does not terrace a slope.
• Sugar cane channels are dug, not flooded. The tool never creates water.
• Third-party blocks are recognised by their block tags. A modded block with no standard vanilla tag will not be picked up by area mining, which is the safe failure.

Symptom → fix

The tool breaks only one block

The Behavior Pack is not active, or that family has been turned off. Check that both packs are active on the world, then run scriptevent andys_excavators:list as an operator to confirm the family is enabled.

No outline appears when I hold a tool

Outlines are hidden while you crouch, so a menu can open with a clear view. Otherwise the Resource Pack is not active or has not been accepted — on a server or Realm the outline needs the Resource Pack to have downloaded.

The tool sprite is a missing-texture block

The Resource Pack is not active or was declined. Re-accept it, or activate it manually under Resource Packs.

The Scythe will not break my farmland

Deliberate. Scythes are plant tools and are blocked from breaking farmland so a fast harvest swing cannot chew through the field. Use a Shovel or an Excavator if you actually want the farmland gone.

The Tiller made a hole in the middle of my field

That is the irrigation location. Fill it with a water bucket to hydrate the whole 9×9, or turn on Auto water fill in the Tiller menu.

Auto water fill or the lamppost did nothing

Both are paid for from your inventory. Crouch-use the Tiller and read the availability lines: the water fill needs mangrove roots or stairs and a filled water bucket; the lamppost needs a fence post and a torch or lantern, and needs the water fill to have placed first.

My sugar cane will not grow

Check that the channels are actually flooded — the Tiller digs them but does not create water. Two buckets at opposite ends fill a nine-long channel. Sugar cane also cannot grow on farmland or a dirt path, so make sure the growing rows are dirt, grass, coarse dirt, or sand.

My pumpkins and melons are not producing

Stems grow their fruit onto a neighbouring block, so the open green rows must stay clear. If you planted stems in every row there is nowhere for fruit to land.

The Seeder Rake planted fewer blocks than expected

The Rake checks real vanilla placement rules per cell and skips anything invalid — wrong ground, an occupied block, no adjacent water for Sugar Cane, a blocked side for Cactus. It also stops when you run out of the selected item. The chat message reports how many were planted.

My drops disappeared

Drops use the standard five-minute vanilla despawn timer, the same as any other mining. A large area break produces a lot of items at once; collect as you go.

My farmland turned to dirt after harvesting

Vanilla farmland reverts to dirt when it is neither hydrated nor planted. Hydrate the field — one water source covers the whole 9×9 — or replant promptly. The Scythe itself preserves the farmland it harvests over.

An area break took blocks I did not expect

Area tools take only blocks in the same family as the block you actually hit. Ore families include their Deepslate variants, copper families ignore waxing and oxidation, and dirt-like ground is one family. Aim at the specific material you want.

Nothing happens and chat says the tool is disabled

An operator or the world settings have turned that family off. An operator can re-enable it in the shape menu's override section, on the world settings screen, or with scriptevent andys_excavators:set <tool> on.

A command says "Denied"

Only operators and the dedicated-server console may change the global tool settings. Ordinary players never need those commands.

Reporting a problem

Report issues on the official CurseForge project page, and include:

• your Minecraft Bedrock version and platform;
• the add-on version;
• which tool, tier, and menu settings were in use;
• whether it was single-player, a server, or a Realm;
• what you expected and what happened instead;
• a screenshot or clip for anything visual.
