Better Dirt Mining - BDM
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.11 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This mod makes mining dirt, sand, gravel, and similar blocks more realistic.
This mod changes mining of blocks like dirt into layer mining - you can break them layer by layer! More blocks will be added over time, and suggestions are welcome in the comments!
BTW, this is my second mod made without Mcreator.
Ever wanted to make smooth terrain? Now you can!
