New Features

  • 5 Specialized Pickaxes: Introduced a complete suite of mining tools, each with unique mechanics:
    • Smelting Pickaxe: Automatically smelts mined ores into ingots.
    • SilkTouch Pickaxe: Drops blocks in their original form (e.g., Stone instead of Cobblestone).
    • Fortune Pickaxe: Increased chance to multiply ore drops.
    • 2x2 Pickaxe: Mines a 2x2 area. Adjusted to have similar power to Copper/Iron tools for early-mid game balance.
    • 3x3 Pickaxe: Mines a massive 3x3 area. High-tier tool for endgame excavation.
  • Precision Mode: Added Crouch-to-Mine (1x1) functionality for the 2x2 and 3x3 Area Pickaxes, giving players full control without switching tools.
  • Localization Support: Added full English.
  • Custom Recipes: Integrated balanced crafting recipes using Vanilla items (Adamantite, Cobalt, Thorium, Gems, etc.).

Mechanics & Balance

  • Area Mining Logic: Implemented robust directional checking. Area pickaxes now correctly calculate the mining area based on player facing (Wall vs Floor/Ceiling mining).
  • Durability Tuning:
    • 3x3 Pickaxe: Increased durability cost to 3.0 per hit to balance its massive clearing power.
    • 2x2 Pickaxe: Balanced durability (250) and power (0.5) to align with Copper/Iron tier.
