Hoshikima
by xXYxxdMC-GH
Hoshikima is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.5 that adds several utility items and a chain mining system, and the server and each player need it installed.
What it does
Among the utility items are a Large Bucket that holds more liquid than a standard bucket, which lowers how often a player has to refill, an Ender Pearl Bundle for storing pearls and quick access to them, and a Firework Thruster that extends gliding flight with more precise control in the air. Fabric API is required, and Hoshikima is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
The chain mining feature is inspired by FTB Ultimine and is not available in the vanilla game. It offers four chain modes, where a Single Block Tunnel mines a one-block-wide passage in the direction the player faces, a Double Block Tunnel mines a 2x1 passage, and a Grid Excavation mines a 3x3 tunnel. Holding the chain mining key while turning the mouse wheel moves the player to the next chain mode. Optional Mod Menu support lets the HUD display style be set, and Jade can supply the display style as an alternative.
Hoshikima CM includes an air-skipping function that keeps a chain from stopping when a tunnel crosses empty space, with the number of skippable air blocks configurable per chain. It also checks tool durability before a chain starts, so a tool is not used up while breaking hard blocks. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.5 only, and the environment is client and server.
Key features
Utility items
Several practical items adjust vanilla gameplay, including fluid handling through the Large Bucket.
Four chain modes
Single, double and grid tunnel modes, plus a fourth mode, are chosen by scrolling while the chain key is held.
Air skipping
Empty blocks inside a tunnel can be skipped, and the allowance per chain is set in the configuration.
Tool protection
A chain does not start when the tool's durability would fall below a safe threshold, and hard blocks are checked against soft tools.
