How do I install Momentum?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Momentum work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.19.2, 1.18.2, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

Momentum is an enchantment that serves as a vanilla style ore vein miner, as well as a way to allow instamining of any breakable block.

Treasure enchantment found in Jungle Temples, Strongholds, Abandoned Mineshafts, Dungeons, End Cities, and Villager Trades - not available from the enchantment table.
Mutually exclusive with Efficiency - you can't have both on the same tool.
Tools enchanted with it will speed up when the same block is mined, only resetting the speed when a different block is mined.
This does not happen when a block is partially mined, or naturally breaks instantly, though the speed changes accordingly.
Without Haste 2, no blocks after the first (8 * hardness^0.5) blocks can be instamined - this is around 13 for ores, and 56 for obsidian.
The rate of speedup is proportional to (2^-hardness), so around 7 for ores and 54 for obsidian to reach instamine (for netherite tier)

I developed this mod to practice design iteration, so I'd love feedback about:

How it feels
Any bugs
Situations where you think it is underpowered or overpowered
When and how you used it
Or any other relevant information.

This mod needs the latest version of Blueprint, and works for 1.16.4+

No, I will not backport this or develop it for Fabric. You can though!

And yes, you can use this in your modpack. Just make sure to give credit.
