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?
If many users ask for them, I'll update it for sure! Just contact me through my website: https://javivi.dev
