Which build do you need?

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 adds a curios — Kylin Arm (the OP version of Digging Claws)

When equipped, it upgrades the player's base mining tier to Netherite level. At this point, the player's bare hands functionally combine the capabilities of a shovel, an axe, and a pickaxe.

This means you can directly harvest most blocks by hand, while also significantly increasing mining speed and ignoring mining slowdown effects in mid-air or underwater.
