Smashing
by runcows
Smashing lets tridents and arrows break a wider set of blocks, including candles, cakes, cacti, flower pots and glass panes.
What it does
Arrows and tridents break more blocks than they do in vanilla Minecraft. Blocks added by the mod include several kinds of candle and cake, along with cacti, pots holding flowers, glass panes, and several plant and gourd blocks. Pointed dripstone can also be broken by tridents. The mod is server required with an optional client, so a server can run it alone while players join without it. Files target 1.21.7 – 26.3 and are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source is open.
