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.

Overview

This mod lets you modify the way breaking and placing blocks works in a few different ways. For example, harder blocks can take more durability to break. You can change the speed that blocks are broken at, and add extra exhaustion/hunger for breaking blocks.

Features

- Enable hardness and durability, meaning harder blocks like obsidian will use up more durability on a tool. You can configure the multiplier.

- Enable hunger and exhaustion costs for block breaking or placing. You can configure how much hunger or exhaustion is subtracted or added.

- Customize block breaking speed. You can multiply all blocks by one multiplier or configure based on the tool type used to break it.

Planned Updates

- Hunger cost affected by block hardness
