OP pickaxes
by raphdf201
OP pickaxes adds pickaxes that break stone, ores and other blocks instantly, with the speed, enchantment levels and repair options set by the mod.
What it does
Some pickaxes are added to the game through the mod, and each one can break blocks such as stone and ores in a single action rather than the usual slow breaking. Mining speed and enchantment level are part of what the mod sets for these tools, and players can repair them in the same way as other equipment.
The mod is built with Architectury API, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric or NeoForge. Client and server share the same tools, so a server and every player need the mod for the pickaxes to behave the same. Files are published for 26.3 on both loaders, and older builds cover 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2 on the same range of game versions. The author notes that other versions and loaders can be added through a request on the issue tracker.
The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it is open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Instant block breaking
Pickaxes from the mod break stone, ores and similar blocks instantly instead of over time.
Adjustable mining speed
The mod sets how fast these pickaxes break blocks, separate from the default tools.
Enchantment levels
The pickaxes carry enchantment levels that the mod defines for them.
Tool repair
The tools can be repaired, so they stay usable across long sessions.
