Detominer
by sneeryazalee
With Detominer, a pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe or shears can carry the Detonate enchantment, which breaks a 3x3 area of blocks at once.
What it does
Detominer adds a single enchantment, Detonate, and it runs on the server alone. Tools that carry it break every block in a 3x3 radius around the block being broken, which speeds up clearing ore veins and stone faces.
The approach stays close to vanilla: a player still breaks each block by hand, and only blocks that generate naturally in the world are affected. The configuration file is dynamic, so the game reads changed values without a rebuild, and deleting the file and restarting the game produces a fresh one with default settings. Since version 4.0, release packages come in the form of an actual mod, which gives access to the settings inside the config folder.
Detominer requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and can be used to open its settings. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join a server that runs it without installing anything. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, and the latest file is 4.1 for 1.21.11, released on 2025-12-12. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

How it compares
3x3 Enchantments is server-side only and also uses 3x3 mining, with files for 1.16.5 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved. Better Mining Enchantments is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 1.21.1 with client and server files, so it needs a client and a server install. Silana (Vein Miner) is also open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.10 – 26.3 and client and server support, and it mines veins rather than a fixed area.
