Drills

by loganisepicepicepic

Drills adds a drill pickaxe type that mines stone and ores far faster than the stone pickaxe it is tied to.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

The drill is a new pickaxe type. It breaks stone almost instantly and mines ores quickly, but it only works on blocks that a stone pickaxe can harvest. Clearing rock underground or gathering large amounts of stone blocks takes far less time with it. The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric, with files for 1.20.1 and 26.2 and the latest build published as 1.0.5 on 2026-08-22. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and both client and server need it.

Key features

  1. Fast stone mining

    The drill breaks stone blocks almost instantly, which speeds up clearing out areas underground.

  2. Ore mining

    Ores are mined quickly with the drill, while tiers above stone pickaxe level stay out of reach.

  3. Recipes shown in JEI

    Crafting recipes for the drill can be viewed through JEI, which lists them in the recipe gallery.

What the author says

Use the gallery or JEI for the recipes!! This mod adds a new type of pickaxe called a drill. The drill mines extremely fast and breaks stone instantly. However, it only mines at the pickaxe level of a stone pickaxe. This mod is to make gathering stone blocks and clearing out areas underground easier.
