  • 📊 Full Progression System - Achievements, leaderboards, statistics
  • ⚡ Server-Side Only - Players can join without installing the mod!
  • 🎨 Client-Side Preview - Optional visual particle outlines (if installed on client)

🎮 Smart Gameplay Mechanics

✋ Crouch to Activate

  • Area Mine only activates while sneaking/crouching
  • Prevents accidental activations while mining normally
  • Toggle in config: requireCrouch

⚒️ Pickaxe-Effective Blocks Only

  • Only mines blocks that pickaxes are designed for
  • ✅ Mines: Stone, ores, deepslate, netherrack, concrete, etc.
  • ❌ Ignores: Dirt, sand, gravel, wood, leaves, etc.

⚖️ Balanced Durability System

  • Tier I (Area Mine I): 10% durability per block
  • Tier II (Area Mine II): 20% durability per block
  • Tier III (Area Mine III): 30% durability per block
  • Combine with Unbreaking III and Durability Boost for maximum efficiency!

Example: With Tier III + Unbreaking III + Durability Boost:

  • Base cost: 30% per block
  • After reductions: ~5% per block
  • Mine 20 blocks per durability point!

🎨 Visual & Audio Feedback

🎨 Pattern-Specific Particles (Client-Side)
Each pattern has unique color-coded particles:

  • 🟦 Cube: White end rod particles (stable)
  • 🔵 Sphere: Orange sparkle particles
  • 🟡 Tunnel: Yellow flame particles
  • 🟢 Cross: Green happy villager particles
  • 🟣 Layer: Cyan glow particles (subtle)
  • 🟪 Vertical: Purple portal particles

🔊 Sound Effects

  • Completion: XP orb pickup sound (when finished)

📊 Chat Feedback
