Wide Mining

by SushiWaUmai

Wide Mining adds an enchantment that lets a pickaxe break a three by three block area in one swing, making mining significantly faster.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The enchantment works on pickaxes and turns each swing into a three by three break, so a player clears a wall or a patch of ore without repeating the action for every block. Mining speed rises noticeably with the enchantment in place, which suits large excavations and quarrying.

The server must run the mod, while a client can leave it out and still join. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Wide Mining is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also ships as a data pack, across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Enchantment levels can be configured, and sneaking can be set to disable the effect. Loot table options are available too. Server owners who want a custom build can use the Wide Mining Generator to export a version for a specific loader.

Key features

  1. 3×3 area mining

    A single pickaxe swing breaks a three by three block area, covering a full face of a tunnel or wall at once.

  2. Faster mining

    The enchantment makes mining significantly faster, so ore and stone come out in fewer passes.

  3. Configurable levels

    Enchantment levels can be adjusted in the config, so server owners pick how strong the effect is.

  4. Sneak to disable

    Holding sneak turns the 3×3 break off, so a single block can be broken when precision matters.

Questions

Does Wide Mining need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on Fabric. Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds do not list it as a requirement.

Does every player need Wide Mining installed?

No. The server must run the mod, while a player's client may leave it out and still join the server.

Can the enchantment be turned off while mining?

Yes. Sneaking disables the 3×3 break, and the enchantment levels can be changed in the config.
