What it does

The mod adds harvesting tools that break glass blocks fast and leave the block intact, so no Silk Touch enchantment is needed. Harvesting glass is slow in vanilla Minecraft even with Efficiency on an axe, pickaxe or shovel, and these tools remove that delay. The tools work at the same speed a shears uses on leaves, which is how the glass cutter handles glass blocks in this mod. The mod requires FLIB. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds cover 1.14.4 – 26.1.2 for Forge and NeoForge, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Intact glass drops

    Tools break glass blocks and return them as whole blocks, without requiring a Silk Touch enchantment.

  2. Fast glass breaking

    Glass is broken much faster than with vanilla tools, even without any enchantment on the tool.

  3. Glass cutter tool

    A glass cutter works at the same speed a shears uses on leaves, giving a fast way to clear glass.

What the author says

Both items that it adds are tools that can be used to harvest glass very fast and efficiently. The same speed that shears can harvest leaves, this is how the glass cutter harvests the glass blocks.
