Logical Efficient Tools
by azeolii_
Logical Efficient Tools changes how fast blocks break when a matching tool is in hand, so players stop waiting on the same mining time for every tool.
What it does
Normally a block breaks at the same speed whatever tool is in hand, which gets tedious when clearing a large area. This mod lets chosen blocks be mined faster with specific tools, and it covers glass, glass panes, stained glass and stained glass panes, tinted glass, sea lanterns, redstone lamps, and frosted ice. Some blocks, including honeycomb blocks, froglights, and honey blocks, are handled by the mod's data pack rather than the main jar.
The mod ships a data pack that sets which tool works on which block, and it excludes blocks that were meant to stay slow, such as reinforced deepslate, trial spawners, vaults, and resin blocks. Players who want a full list of blocks and the tools that break them can check the data pack files. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is licensed under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Server owners need it installed; players may add it.
Key features
Faster tool-matched mining
Blocks mined with their associated tool break faster than the same blocks mined by hand or with the wrong tool.
Glass and light blocks
Glass, glass panes, stained glass in every color, tinted glass, sea lanterns and redstone lamps all respond to the matching tools.
Frosted ice support
Frosted ice breaks faster with the right tool, which helps when clearing ice structures.
Data pack configuration
A data pack sets which tool applies to which block, and leaves out blocks that should keep their original speed.

What the author says
Certain blocks, most notably glass, glowstone, honeycomb blocks and froglights, don't have tools associated to them. This means that they are always broken at the same speed, no matter what tool you are using, which can get tedious when trying to remove a large amount of them at once. This data pack aims to fix this…
