Ore mining speed
by Rimmon
Ore Mining Speed lets a modpack creator set how fast each ore and modded block breaks, so early and deep-underground mining can be tuned.
What it does
Mining speed can be customized for vanilla blocks as well as ores added by other mods, using multipliers set in the config. A pack author can make early-game mining quicker or make deep-underground ores slower to break for a harder progression. Only the server applies these values, so players join without installing anything. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, in version 0.1.0 from 2026-02-10, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Per-block speed multipliers
Each block, vanilla or modded, can receive its own mining speed multiplier, set through the mod's configuration.
Modded ore support
Ores added by other mods can be included, so a modpack can balance its whole ore set instead of only vanilla blocks.
Full pack control
Pack makers decide the speed of every block, which suits modpacks that need a specific early or late progression.
