✅ Features

⛏️ Block Breaking Restriction

Restricts mining to only the blocks you define

Optional reverse mode:

Whitelist mode → only listed blocks can be broken

Blacklist mode → listed blocks cannot be broken

Prevents breaking all other blocks outside the active rules

Useful for farming, challenge setups, event servers, or focused grinding

📋 Multiple Block Lists

Create multiple custom lists/profiles

Rename, edit, and delete lists directly in the GUI

Activate one list or multiple lists at the same time

Quickly switch between different setups depending on your task

Examples:

Wool farming list

Ore mining list

Event-specific list

Blacklist for protected blocks

🧩 Wildcard Entries

Supports grouped entries like:

_wool

_ore

This automatically adds all matching blocks based on the block id

Examples:

_wool → red_wool, blue_wool, white_wool, etc.

_ore → all ore blocks matching that suffix

This makes large categories much faster to configure

🖱️ In-Game Configuration Menu

Manage everything directly in-game

Includes:

list creation

renaming

deleting

entry editing

toggling active lists

switching between whitelist / blacklist mode

adding blocks manually by id

adding the currently targeted block

The menu is designed so you can work with multiple lists more comfortably without editing config files by hand

📌 Targeted Block Support

Add the block you are currently looking at directly into the selected list

This makes creating lists much faster, especially when working with custom server content or modded blocks

🖥️ Overlay / HUD Support

Optional overlay with configurable layout

Can display useful status information such as:

whether restrictions are active

which mode is active

which lists are currently active

Includes adjustable:

position

size

⚙️ Made for Flexible Setups
