Breaking Minecraft

Mining blocks gradually cracks a glass overlay across the game view. Each block broken adds to the damage, and the crack pattern grows as more blocks are removed, so the view becomes harder to read the more a player digs. Cracks appear in random places and the fresh ones can look unstable before they settle into the glass.

Placing blocks works in reverse. Placing two to four blocks mends one line of cracks, so a player can slow the damage by building. Once enough glass has broken, too little of it is left to hold together. The crack level is saved per world, so the state carries over between sessions in the same save.

The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players see nothing of it, and it is published for Fabric alone on 26.2. Breaking Minecraft is open source under the MIT License.
