RipDeepslate
by TVTvirus
RipDeepslate makes deepslate break at the same speed as stone when a player mines it with a netherite pickaxe, Efficiency V and Haste II.
What it does
Deepslate has a hardness of 3.0, exactly twice that of stone. Under the mod, the game treats deepslate with the hardness of stone, so the same tool and effect settings break both at matching speed. Blast resistance, drops, cobbled deepslate, deepslate tiles and deepslate bricks are left unchanged, and the mod only alters how fast deepslate blocks are mined.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player who mines deepslate need it installed. The client predicts block breaking locally, and RipDeepslate keeps the same calculation on both sides, which keeps the crack animation and mining smooth. A player without the mod still mines deepslate at vanilla speed. It requires Fabric API along with the other dependencies named on the page.
Files are published for Fabric only, covering game versions 1.21 – 26.3. The 1.21 build also supports 1.21.1, while 26.2 and 26.3 need their own separate jar. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod was first published on 2026-07-01 and last updated on 2026-10-03.
Key features
Stone-speed deepslate
Deepslate breaks as quickly as stone under the same netherite pickaxe, Efficiency and Haste settings.
Client-side prediction kept in step
Client prediction and server calculation use the same math, so the mining animation stays smooth on both sides.
Unchanged drops and resistance
Only the mining speed of deepslate changes, while blast resistance and drops stay as they are in vanilla.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Faster deepslate layers
Players who dig through deepslate layers on a long tunnel or mining run get the speed of stone without changing their tools.
Shared server mining
Server owners who want consistent deepslate mining can install the jar on the server and on each player's client.
Who it’s for: Players who dig large amounts of deepslate with a netherite pickaxe, and server owners who want deepslate digging to match stone.

Haste Instamine is server-side only, for 1.21.11, and is not open source.

What the author says
Makes deepslate mine exactly like stone with a netherite pickaxe. With the same setup that lets you insta-mine stone (Efficiency V + Haste II), deepslate goes instant too. No more grinding through deepslate one slow crack at a time. Part of the W4VE family (Code Ware 4 Vanilla Experience).
