About

Description

Miner's Enchantments adds useful enchantments to make mining and digging faster, cleaner, and much more convenient.

✨ The Enchantments

⛏️ Tunneler (Levels I–III)

  • Tools: Pickaxes only
  • What it does: Automatically digs a straight tunnel forward whenever you break a block. Creates natural-looking, walkable tunnels instead of flat square boxes.
  • Tunnel Sizes:
    • Level I: ~3×3×2 pocket
    • Level II: ~3×3×4 tunnel
    • Level III: ~5×5×7 tunnel
    • Note: Cannot be combined with Vein Miner on the same pickaxe.

🧹 Excavator (Levels I–III)

  • Tools: Shovels only
  • What it does: The shovel counterpart to Tunneler. Clears straight tunnels through shovel-mineable materials like dirt, sand, gravel, and clay.
  • Tunnel Sizes:
    • Level I: ~3×3×2 pocket
    • Level II: ~3×3×4 tunnel
    • Level III: ~5×5×7 tunnel

💎 Vein Miner (Level I)

  • Tools: Pickaxes only
  • What it does: Mining a single ore block instantly breaks the entire connected ore vein (up to 32 blocks at once).
  • Features:
    • Works across diagonal connections (edges and corners), not just flat faces.
    • Strictly targets the specific ore you broke, if iron ore sits next to copper ore, the copper is left completely untouched.
    • Fully compatible with both Fortune and Silk Touch.
    • Note: Cannot be combined with Tunneler on the same pickaxe.

🧲 Magnetic (Levels I–II)

  • Tools: Pickaxes, Shovels, Axes, and Hoes
  • What it does: Instantly pulls all items you just mined directly to your player instead of letting drops scatter down dark shafts or over edges.
  • Range:
    • Level I: 5 blocks
    • Level II: 10 blocks
  • Features: Works alongside Tunneler, Excavator, and Vein Miner. Only collects items freshly mined by you, it will never suck up old items lying around on the ground.

🛡️ Durability & Unbreaking

  • Built-in Discounts: Bulk-mining uses tool durability, but with a discount! Tunneler and Vein Miner consume significantly less durability than breaking every block by hand.
  • Unbreaking Support: Fully respects the standard Unbreaking enchantment to further reduce tool wear.

🎲 How to Get Them

All four enchantments behave like standard vanilla enchantments:

  • Obtainable from the Enchanting Table.
  • Found as enchanted books in dungeon/structure loot chests.
  • Available through Villager trading.
  • Usable in Anvils and creative search.
