Pickaxe Effective Glass [PurpurPack]
by PurpurMC
Pickaxe Effective Glass lets glass blocks be broken faster with a pickaxe, by adding them to a minable tag in the mod's data.
What it does
The mod adds glass to the minable tag, so a pickaxe breaks glass blocks more quickly than before. It is a server mod: only the server needs it, and clients may leave it out. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod goes in the mods folder alongside it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 21 release versions, 1.20 – 26.2, and is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Faster glass breaking
Glass blocks join the pickaxe-minable tag, so breaking them with a pickaxe takes less time.
Datapack option
The same change is also available as a datapack, configured through the singular setting used by Purpur.
Vanilla-friendly changes
The change is made without altering how the server behaves otherwise, and it works on vanilla-style servers running Purpur.

What the author says
These datapacks function the same as a singular configuration setting would in Purpur. They can be added and removed at any time without damaging the server. These work in vanilla, you do not need to be running Purpur to use these
