Persistent Mining

by Jakobify

Persistent Mining keeps block breaking progress after a player stops mining, so the work can resume later instead of starting over.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

When a player stops breaking a block before it finishes, the partial progress is saved and picks up again when the player returns to that block. The saved progress fades after a set time, and the mod exposes options for how long it lasts and how it decays, including a slow decline. It needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) for its configuration screen. Both a single-player client and a multiplayer server run it, so each side needs the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Saved mining progress

    Partly broken blocks keep their progress, so a player can stop mining and resume the same block later.

  2. Progress timeout

    Saved progress is dropped after a period of inactivity, so an abandoned block does not keep its state forever.

  3. Configurable decay

    Options set how long progress stays and how it fades, including a slower decline, through a YACL screen.

Questions

Does Persistent Mining need YetAnotherConfigLib?

Yes. YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is required for the mod's configuration, so it must be installed alongside Persistent Mining.

What the author says

Persistent Mining keeps track of your progress for a short time, so you don’t lose it when you stop. The mod is highly configurable, letting you adjust how long progress stays, how it behaves, and whether it slowly resets over time. It requires YACL for its configuration.
