Slateburst
by infinrupi
Slateburst adds a late-game pickaxe enchantment that makes deepslate and its ores break instantly, which suits players who collect large amounts of it.
What it does
The enchantment is available from a powered enchanting table at level 30 and is aimed at fast deepslate mining without making the tool itself break faster. It instantly breaks deepslate, its variants and deepslate ores, while the vanilla harvesting requirements still apply, so the correct pickaxe tier stays necessary. Netherite pickaxes work without a status effect, and diamond pickaxes need Haste II, which keeps the trade-off in view.
Slateburst supports the Advanced Netherite pickaxe tier and is listed as compatible with it, and the Advanced Netherite Enchantment Descriptions mod is an optional companion. Advanced Netherite is an optional dependency rather than a requirement. Fabric API is required unless another installed mod already needs it. The mod runs on client and server, so it must be installed on both sides in multiplayer. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source, and builds are published for Fabric 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Instant deepslate mining
Deepslate, its variants and deepslate ores break immediately while the enchantment is on the pickaxe.
Late-game enchantment
The enchantment comes from a powered enchanting table at level 30, so it sits at the end of the progression.
Vanilla harvesting kept
Blocks still need the correct tool tier, so the enchantment does not bypass the usual mining rules.
Advanced Netherite support
The enchantment works with the Advanced Netherite pickaxe tier and with netherite pickaxes without a status effect.
