Deepslate Instamine
by nicguzzo
Deepslate Instamine lets a Netherite pickaxe break deepslate and other configured blocks in an instant when the holder has Haste II and Efficiency V.
What it does
Instamining is granted by the combination of a Netherite pickaxe, an Efficiency V enchantment and the Haste II effect, which a player can receive from a beacon. Blocks on the configurable list then break at once, and logs can be cleared the same way with a Netherite axe under the same conditions. The mod also adds a deepslate generator: renewable deepslate forms above water at low Y levels, much as cobblestone forms in a stone generator, and cobbled deepslate is produced in the same way.
The list of instaminable blocks and the list of tools that count as instamine tools are both set in a config file, and the defaults can be changed there. Version 2.4 added the option to extend instamining to blocks and tools beyond the defaults. Deepslate Instamine depends on a required library on every loader it runs on. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with its source code published.
Key features
Instant deepslate mining
With the required tool and effects, deepslate breaks in an instant instead of taking time to dig through.
Instamine for logs
Logs can be broken instantly with a Netherite axe, using the same Efficiency and Haste conditions.
Renewable deepslate
A generator forms deepslate above water at low Y levels, so a supply can be renewed without mining deep layers.
Configurable block and tool lists
Which blocks instamine and which tools qualify can be edited in the config file, and the defaults can be disabled.
