JDK's Mining Utilities 2
by jdk
JDK's Mining Utilities 2 brings hammers, drills and mining guns to Fabric 1.20.1, with Soularium and Enriched Soularium versions of each tool.
What it does
Its tools cover mining work: a hammer that clears a 3x3 area, drills and mining guns in Soularium and Enriched Soularium tiers. The tiers differ in how the tools are made, and the enriched versions are the stronger builds. A compact haste beacon block is also included.
The mod needs Fabric API and JDK's Utilities Core 2 to run. JDK's Farming Utilities 2 is an optional companion, and Just Enough Items (JEI) or Roughly Enough Items (REI) can show the recipes. Client and server means the server and every player need the mod, and it is published for Fabric 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.2a dated 2025-07-23. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Hammers with a 3x3 area
The hammers break a three-by-three area of blocks at once, in standard and enriched Soularium versions.
Soularium drills
Drills come in Soularium and Enriched Soularium forms for faster digging through mined material.
Mining guns
Soularium Mining Guns and their enriched counterparts add a gun-style mining tool to the set.
Compact haste beacon
A compact block that gives the mining effect of a beacon, placed where digging happens.

How it compares
Fabric Hammers is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 1.20.4. Better Hammers is also client and server and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. Simplified Drills is client and server, not open source, and covers 1.20 – 1.20.4, so it is a drill-only alternative in that range.
