DigCoolDown
by Nzoth
DigCoolDown imposes a minimum delay between successive block breaks, which limits how fast a player can dig with modded tools.
What it does
The mod is a lightweight Forge addition for Minecraft 1.20.1. It enforces a minimum delay between successive block breaks, which helps curb uncontrolled fast digging from modded tools. Actual timing can vary slightly because other enchantments and mod effects also change how quickly blocks are broken. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
