Fast Progress
by diegus0504
Fast Progress makes block mining drop more items, so players who farm ore or resources collect them faster in a server world.
What it does
Breaking a block can yield multiplied drops, which shortens the time a player needs to collect materials. The effect works on the server, so players join without installing anything. Required dependencies are Architectury API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Multiplied block drops
Mining a block can return several times the usual drops, speeding up resource gathering.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players connect without installing it on their own game.
Configurable through Cloth Config
Settings are exposed through Cloth Config API and can be changed from the Mod Menu screen.

What the author says
Fast Progress is a lightweight progression/QoL mod that boosts resource gain by multiplying block drops when players break blocks. By default it targets only natural blocks (not player/entity-placed and outside generated structures), so it speeds up mining without encouraging structure griefing or easy duplication…
