A short mod based on making powerful pickaxes which allow the player to mine more efficiently.
Items:
Ores:
Positron Ore: An ore that spawns in The End dimension, and can only be harvested with at least a Pickaxe Level S.
Pickaxes:
Pickaxe Level F: A higher durable Wooden Pickaxe, but able to mine iron ore.
Pickaxe Level E: A higher durable Iron Pickaxe.
Pickaxe Level D: A higher durable Diamond Pickaxe.
Pickaxe Level C: Stronger and faster than the Level D.
Pickaxe Level B: Stronger and faster than the level C. Mines one block below the block broken.
Pickaxe Level A: Stronger and faster than the level B. Mines one block below and one block above the block broken.
Pickaxe Level S: Stronger and faster than the level A. Mines one block below and three blocks above the block broken, and able to mine Positron Ore.
Pickaxe Level SS: Stronger and faster than the level S. Mines one block below and eight blocks above the block broken, and able to mine Positron Ore.
(See "Images" for a better idea of mining areas.)
It's highly recommended the use of JEI or NEI, for a better playthrough.
Update - Release 2:
Just puting an alternative way to obtain Positron, the crafting is as fair as it is to find, at least I think.
This also gives a better coverage for the ProjectE in with the mod.
Update - Release 3:
Just fixing the bug about "end portal breaking" using Level A and Level B pickaxes.
