Quarrying
3x3 mining through an enchantment
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Quarrying
Quarrying lets your pickaxes and shovels mine a whole 3x3 area at once instead of just one block.
Spigot or any other plugin loader than paper or forks of paper will not be supported since you should not be using them anyways in the big 26
Features
Quarryingenchantment (levels I–III) for pickaxes and shovels- 3x3 area mining, depth depends on the level
- Filter mode so you don't accidentally break stuff you don't want to
- Should be compatible with logging plugins (I hope lol)
How it works
Mining depth
The level of Quarrying on your tool decides how deep the 3x3 area goes:
- I → 3x3x1
- II → 3x3x2
- III → 3x3x3
Hold your tool and press your offhand swap key to cycle through the different depths. You can turn it off entirely too if you just want to mine normally.
Filter mode
By default the tool grabs anything in the same category (ore/stone, dirt/sand/etc). Press Shift + F to enable Filter mode to only mine the exact block you started on
