Pickaxable Glass

by TheEnderCore

Pickaxable Glass lets a pickaxe break glass blocks faster, so glass no longer takes as long to break by hand.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.18 – 26.1.2

What it does

Glass blocks break faster when the player holds a pickaxe, and the mod leaves the rest of the mining rules alone: silk touch is still needed to collect glass as an item. The change is applied on the server, so the server is required and players may add the mod for the same effect on their own clients. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 30 release versions 1.18 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Faster glass breaking

    Glass blocks break quicker when a pickaxe is in the player's hand, cutting the time spent on walls and windows.

  2. Silk touch still required

    Collecting glass as an item still needs a silk touch tool, so the drop rules of vanilla remain in place.

  3. Data pack option

    The change is also available as a data pack for servers that cannot run a mod loader.

Questions

Does Pickaxable Glass need to be installed on clients?

No. Only the server has to run the mod, and players can join without it, though they may add it for the same effect.

Does Pickaxable Glass still require silk touch?

Yes. The mod only speeds up breaking glass with a pickaxe, and silk touch is still needed to collect the glass.
