Pickaxe Effective Light Source Blocks [PurpurPack]
by PurpurMC
Pickaxe Effective Light Source Blocks [PurpurPack] adds light source blocks that a pickaxe breaks faster, through a mineable tag, and the mod is a server-side addition.
What it does
Light source blocks in the mod join the pickaxe mineable tag, so breaking them with a pickaxe takes less time, in the way glowstone already behaves. The changes are carried by a datapack that exposes one configuration setting, and the added and removed blocks take effect without damaging a running server. Installation places the mod in the mods folder next to Fabric API, which is required, and it works on Purpur, with vanilla clients able to join.
Files target 1.20 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is also available as a data pack. Only the server needs the mod, and players may add it without changing anything on the server side. The code is open source under the MIT License.

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
