This Datapack Balances out most recipes from the Only Excavators mod.

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.
Project overview
This Datapack Balances out most recipes from the Only Excavators mod. Most items will be exchanged by their Respective Block counterparts, earlier ones such as Iron Excavators also need Diamonds, Copper or other smaller items. Everything is Vanilla + OnlyExcavators compatible. No Modded items have been used for the recipe so its safe to add to any modpack where you think that the Excavators are just, well, too cheap. I wont judge https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/only-excavators is the Mod the Excavators are from. If you do not download the linked mod, this datapack will do nothing.
FreeMinecraftMods decision guide
This mod is most relevant to players looking for game mechanics, optimization, utility on datapack. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

What to verify before choosing a file

- Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
