Since forever, i've had this idea of the waystones being unbreakable. having them like so would make any location that has a natural one... well, prime real estate, wouldn't it? This isn't exactly that, since that would take away too much of the mod's flexibility
Instead, this is an elegant compromise.
This datapack makes waystones only breakable with netherite pickaxes.
That's pretty much it. Compatible with the forge, fabric, and neoforge versions of the mod that have issue No. 1127 fixed. At release it's only 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, but all future versions should work fine and dandy as well.
The waystones aren't mineable only with netherite of course, if any mod adds other tier 4 pickaxes, they will work just as well.
the resourcepack from screenshots is the amazing Fresh Waystones Retexture.
Hope you enjoy!
