Advanced Mining
Advanced Mining is a plugin that adds a custom mining system. It functions like the one seen on Hypixel Skyblock.
If you find any issues or have a suggestion, please create an Issue on the GitHub.
The minig system is very robust and customizable, allowing you to manage how long blocks take to mine and how fast tools mine them. It even allows you to set a custom texture to the blocks using display entities.
To disable the vanilla client-side "cracking" animation and block breaking the plugin sets the player's block_break_speed attribute to 0. This may conflict with other custom logic utilizing this attribute (which is not very common) and will probably not work on client versions older than 1.20.5 if using plugins like ViaBackwards.
The plugin also features an API for developers, which allows them to modify the plugin's behavior and integrate it into other systems such as custom item plugins.
How it works
With this plugin, you can define Custom Blocks which have properties such as Strength and Hardness. You can then set any block to be a Custom Block.
Players can then mine the blocks with tools you set. Tools have the Mining Speed and Breaking Power stats and an optional Tool Type.
The system works by subtracting the player's Mining Speed from the block's Strength every tick until it reaches 0.
This means that if the player has 10 Mining Speed and the block they're mining has 500 strength, it will take 50 ticks (2.5 seconds) to mine the block.
To mine a block the player needs to have a Breaking Power higher than or equal to the block's Hardness.
