Crystal Crusher
by Tilin
Crystal Crusher is an end-game pickaxe for Fabric and Forge that mines at extreme speed while right-click is held, and this card covers the 1.20.1 build.
What it does
Held normally, the Crystal Crusher works like a standard pickaxe. Holding right-click switches it into a fast mining mode that drills through stone, dirt and ores almost at once, leaving unbreakable blocks such as bedrock untouched. The tool is aimed at players who dig long tunnels or large underground bases.
The item is crafted from rare materials using recipe commands in the vanilla style, with two Netherite blocks, an End Crystal and an Amethyst Shard in the recipe. It gives high attack damage, stronger Netherite-level durability and immunity to fire and lava damage, so it can also serve as an emergency weapon.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1, and needs to be installed on the client and on the server. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.

Use cases
Underground bases
Players carving out large underground rooms can clear stone and ore quickly without switching tools.
Cave exploration
Long cave systems can be crossed by digging straight paths, with lava and fire no longer a threat while holding the pickaxe.
Who it’s for: The mod suits survival players who have reached the late game and want a fast tool for mining, and server owners who want an end-game reward item. Players who prefer a lighter progression can leave it out.
