Magnetic Mining
by whitelily
Magnetic Mining is an endgame utility enchantment for mining tools that pulls drops toward the player and smelts them as they break.
What it does
The mod adds enchantments that change how tools gather resources. A 3x3 mining area can be cleared in one action, with each broken block's drops pulled toward the player and, where the enchantment applies, smelted on the spot. The aim is late-game excavation that keeps the feel of vanilla survival.
Rare top-tier enchantments are set up to resist early-game shortcuts. They cannot be obtained through basic villager trading, and their drop weight is kept low, so they appear mainly as rare loot from fishing. Blocks broken by the area effect still apply durability damage to the tool, and the tool's durability is checked mid-process so it breaks at the correct moment, which prevents item duplication.
Installation requires Fabric API on Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2 and 26.3, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
3x3 mining area
Tools with the enchantment break a 3x3 area of blocks at once, clearing wide patches of ore or stone in one action.
Magnetism pulls drops in
Items from broken blocks are drawn toward the player, so collection needs no walking between mining spots.
Instant smelting
Where the enchantment applies, ore drops are smelted as they are collected, skipping the furnace step.
Durability-safe excavation
Each block broken by the area effect uses tool durability, and the tool can break partway through a mining action.
