Sable: Destructive
With Sable: Destructive installed, moving Sable structures that collide with blocks or explosions break the blocks they touch, one block at a time.
What it does
The mod turns the physical destruction of Sable structures into a block-by-block process. When a moving structure meets a wall, the blocks at the point of contact are evaluated using relative speed, the mass pushing into them, and each block's material toughness and hardness. Failed blocks drop as fragments and dust, and the impact can leave craters, debris, dust plumes, shockwaves and camera shake, with custom shaders for the visual effects.
Ordinary collisions remove only the blocks in actual contact, so a hit does not carve long layers through the world. Soft materials such as grass, leaves and dirt break under less force, while obsidian, netherite and reinforced blocks resist ordinary collisions. Bedrock, command blocks, structure blocks and portal infrastructure stay unbreakable. A server can turn on optional penetration and cluster detachment for more destructive play, and the mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, with the server and every player needing it.
Key features
Block-by-block damage
Each collision removes the blocks in contact instead of whole sections, and heavily overloaded brittle blocks pulverize into dust and grit.
Material-aware failure
Soft blocks give way under less force, while stone, metals, obsidian and netherite take far more energy to break.
Capped mass strength
Large structures hit harder, but their mass cannot supply endless strength against a weak contact face.
Low-speed protection
A slow single stone block bounces off instead of drilling downward, and only proportionate high-energy collisions break hard materials.
Optional penetration
Server owners can enable penetration and cluster detachment, with energy limits and a speed cap to prevent tunnelling.

How it compares
Sable: Ships is also a Sable addon for NeoForge 1.21.1, but it is a custom-licensed mod and is not open source. Sable: Pushable covers the same version and environment under All rights reserved, while More Red Sable Wire Fix is a MIT-licensed open source fix for 1.21.1 that works on client and server.
