2x2 Tunnel Dig
by LVX
2x2 Tunnel Dig is a Fabric utility that limits block breaking to a 2×2 cross-section, so straight tunnels are easier to dig.
What it does
Once a player picks a mining direction, the mod calculates the 2×2 area to clear and breaks only the four blocks that form it, rather than the whole surrounding area. Frequency analysis is used to work out which four blocks make up the cross-section. The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it without any change on the server side.Files target 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric build, published 2026-05-24 and released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source.
