Faster Deepslate
by Crazynxmc
Faster Deepslate makes the deepslate variant of stone break as quickly as the normal stone it replaces, for players who dig through deepslate layers.
What it does
Breaking deepslate with a tool takes the same time as breaking regular stone, so underground digging through the deepslate layer no longer slows progress. The mod changes only the mining speed of the deepslate blocks; it does not add new ores, structures or items to the world.
The mod is a Fabric client and server mod for Minecraft 1.20.4, the only game version with a published file. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, and the public issue tracker is the only listed public link.
Installation requires Fabric Loader and the 1.0.0 build for 1.20.4, released on 2024-04-06. That build is also the latest and only file, and the project has not been updated since that date.
Key features
Faster deepslate mining
Deepslate breaks at the mining speed of normal stone, so the variant no longer costs extra time with a pickaxe.
Cobbled deepslate blocks
Cobbled deepslate, with its stairs, slab and wall variants, is included in the faster mining behavior.
Deepslate ore variants
Deepslate copper, coal and iron ores are covered, matching the normal copper, coal and iron ores they correspond to.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Underground mining
Players who dig through the deepslate layer to reach iron, coal and copper spend less time on each block.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.20.4 who dig deep underground, and server owners who want the same change on a multiplayer server.
How it compares
Stone Drops Itself is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.20 – 1.20.2, so clients need nothing. Deepslate Below Zero is client and server, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and not open source, with a file for 1.20.2. Faster Deepslate, by contrast, is client and server, not open source and published only for 1.20.4.
