Persistent Block Damage - Hytale-Style Mining
Tired of block breaking progress resetting every time you stop mining?
Persistent Block Damage brings a Hytale-inspired mining system to Minecraft. Block damage remains visible and persists for a configurable amount of time, allowing you to continue mining exactly where you left off.
🎮 What Does It Do?
When you mine a block, its cracks remain visible even after you stop mining. If you return before the configured timeout expires, you continue from the exact same progress.
The total number of hits required to break a block never changes. Vanilla balance is fully preserved.
Vanilla: ████████████ (12 consecutive hits or progress resets)
PBD: ██████ pause ██████ = 12 hits ✨
✨ Features
-
Configurable persistent block damage (1–300 seconds)
-
Visible cracks remain after mining stops
-
Optional smooth decay system
-
Instant reset mode available
-
Fully multiplayer compatible
-
Server-authoritative synchronization
-
Real-time admin commands
-
Optimized for large servers
-
No additional dependencies required
-
Dedicated server support
🎯 How It Works
-
Start mining a block
-
The block accumulates damage and displays cracks
-
Stop mining
-
The cracks remain visible
-
Return before the timeout expires
-
Continue mining from the same progress
-
If the timeout expires, the damage resets
⚙️ Configuration
The configuration file is automatically generated at:
config/persistentblockdamage-server.toml
Example:
[general]
# Seconds before damage begins to decay
blockDamagePersistenceSeconds = 10
# true = smooth decay
# false = instant reset
smoothDecay = true
# Ticks between decay steps
# 20 ticks = 1 second
decayIntervalTicks = 20
# Maximum tracked damaged blocks
maxTrackedBlocks = 10000
# Maximum crack render distance
renderDistance = 64
🛠️ Commands (OP Only)
| Command | Description |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this reduce the number of hits required to break blocks?
No.
The number of hits remains exactly the same as vanilla Minecraft. The mod only preserves progress between mining sessions.
Does it work with all tools?
Yes.
Mining speed is calculated normally using the currently equipped tool.
Does it affect performance?
No.
The system is optimized to handle thousands of damaged blocks with minimal overhead.
Is it compatible with other mining mods?
Generally yes.
Persistent Block Damage only extends Minecraft's existing block damage system and does not modify tools, blocks, or mining mechanics.
💡 Inspiration
This mod is inspired by the persistent mining system showcased in Hytale, bringing a more immersive and forgiving mining experience to Minecraft while preserving vanilla balance.
