Mine Prevention

by BVengo

Mine Prevention lets a player mark certain blocks so that breaking them with a pickaxe or hand is blocked on the client.

What it does

The mod works from a deny list: any block placed on it cannot be mined, while every other block stays as usual. Only the client needs it, so players install it alone and servers run without it. Mine Prevention depends on Fabric API and lists Mod Menu as an optional companion. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source, with files for 1.21.4 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Blocked mining

    Blocks on the deny list are protected, so a stray click does not break them while the player works nearby.

  2. Drop-free ores

    Ores mined under protection are not kept, so no items are gathered from blocks the player meant to leave alone.

  3. Config file

    The deny list is stored in mineprevention.json inside the config folder and holds only block names, keeping the saved data small.

Questions

Does Mine Prevention need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Mine Prevention on Fabric.

Does a server need Mine Prevention?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it and the server can run without it.

Where are the blocked blocks set?

The deny list lives in mineprevention.json in the config folder of the Minecraft directory.

What the author says

This is a simple client-side mod that gives you the ability to avoid mining certain blocks. For example, block all ores while you're mining without Silktouch or Fortune so you can save them for later! Or perhaps only allow yourself to mine large amethyst buds so that you don't accidentally break the budding block!
