Harder Branch Mining Mod is a fully customizable mod where the deeper you mine, the more exhausted you become. Your hunger depletes faster, and your mining speed decreases as you dig lower.

Features:

Control horizontal mining difficulty.
Control vertical mining difficulty.
Set the depth at which mining becomes slower and more exhausting.
Customize settings for individual tools, items, and dimensions from any mod.
Adjust ore mining difficulty separately from normal blocks.

Default Settings:

Starts becoming harder at Y=48.
Max difficulty at Y=5.
Ore blocks remain easy to dig by default.

Tool Configuration:

Each tool can be configured with a string format:

minecraft:diamond_pickaxe,minecraft:overworld,48,1.2;

Tool: minecraft:diamond_pickaxe
Dimension: minecraft:overworld
Depth start: 48 (when mining slows down)
Speed modifier: 1.2 (slows digging by ~20%)

Exhaustion Settings:

Exhaustion affects how much food players use while mining. It applies only to hard blocks (hardness >1).

Types of Exhaustion:
- Proportional (default): Gradually increases food consumption the deeper you mine.
- No Exhaustion: Slows mining without using extra food.
- Fixed Exhaustion: Uses a constant extra amount of food per block below a certain depth.
Default starting depth for exhaustion: Y=48.
Setting exhaustion to 0.0 disables it for a tool or dimension.

Digging Speed Modifiers:

Digging Speed Modifier: Applies globally or per tool; slows digging more as depth increases.
Downward Digging Speed Modifier: Applies when digging blocks below the player’s feet; can be much slower.
Soft Items: Items with hardness ≤1 (like torches, rails, dirt) are unaffected by speed or exhaustion.
Ore Blocks: By default, use normal Minecraft speed/exhaustion. Can be set to be harder.

Whitelist / Ignore Blocks:

Blocks in this list are not affected by the mod. Useful for custom ores, wood, fences, or specific stones.

Debugging Levels:

0 = Off (default)
1 = Logged to text log
2 = Shown in chat + text log

Configuration:

Edit in the mod configuration screen.
Use server commands with operator privileges:
- /hbm exhaustionType 0,1
- /hbm debugLevel 0,1,2
- /hbm diggingSpeedModifier 1.0-16.0
- /hbm downSpeed 1.0-16.0
- /hbm info
Digging speed now configured per tool as a simple percentage slower.
