Install in the game only; not needed on the server
SmoothBreak
SmoothBreak restores the block-breaking behavior from Minecraft 1.7, where switching tools mid-mining did not reset block break progress.
In modern versions, when you're mining a block with one tool and switch to another, the progress resets. This mod prevents that — allowing you to scroll between pickaxes (or similar tools) without any loss of progress.
Will it be updated to newer versions or loaders?
