InstantBreak

About

In Minecraft, you can instantly break stone, but not wood, glass, or deepslate. InstantBreak fixes that. It allows instant breaking of most blocks.

This mod changes Minecraft's break calculation for strong, like netherite or gold tools to instamine easier. For example, you only need a netherite axe with efficiency V to instantly break wood. It also expands which tools are considered valid for certain blocks. For example, pickaxes can now break glass, and axes can break skulls.



Features

  • Pressing R (the default key) toggles the delay between block breaking.
