librush
Brushes in librush can be given new brushing speeds, sweep counts and block rules, expanding the archaeology brush set for the Minecraft library tier.
What it does
librush is a library mod that adds support for a few new features tied to archaeology brushes, such as changing how quickly a brush works. It has to be installed alongside Fabric API, which is required on every loader it ships for, and it is the base for Slightly ReBrushed, which requires it. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and a few minor features work without any additional mods.
Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.4, with 0.9.0 as the latest build for each loader, dated 2025-01-04 on the beta channel. The Fabric build works on Quilt as long as Fabric API or the Quilted Fabric API and Quilt Standard Libraries are present. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Brush speed attribute
A new attribute sets how long a single sweep with a brush takes, so brushing can be made slower or faster.
Sweep count control
Attributes can change the number of sweeps needed, similar to how sweep duration is changed.
Block-based brushing rules
Brushes can be defined to work on blocks in a way similar to vanilla tool tiers.
Configurable base duration
On NeoForge a base sweep duration can be configured, and Fabric builds support configuration as well.

Use cases
Modded archaeology brushes
Modders who add brushes can set their speed, sweep count and the blocks they work on without writing the logic from scratch.
Armadillo brushing
The Fabric build, when NeoForge is also present, allows armadillos to be brushed with modded brushes.
Who it’s for: Pack makers and modders who want archaeology brushes with custom speeds or block rules, and server owners who want to adjust brushing timing through configuration.
