This mod will make your mining trips more enjoyable by getting rid of the falling gravel problem that everyone has run into before.
You can either...
- install it on your client and it will automatically place torches from your hotbar below falling gravel and retrieve the torch afterwards
- or install it on your server (or singleplayer world) and it will insta-break gravel blocks above the block you mine, before they fall down
That means this mod works on clients, even if slightly less convenient than the server-side version. It will auto-adjust based on latency / TPS lag, so if it fails to get good timing with the torch placement, let it fail and it will learn and be less likely to fail next time.
When installed on a server, the mod uses an opt-in system for players: only those who want to use its functionality need to install the mod on their client. Players can connect without it just fine.

Will this be updated to 1.14.3 in the future?
In reply to justplayn10:
It's been updated to 1.14.3. Not sure if it works on 1.14.4 yet.
I know it's called GravelMiner and all, but can you make it so it works with other falling blocks? (Sand, Concrete Powder, etc.)
(Edit: nevermind, saw your reply to Kondrik)
Is it for Forge or Fabric?
In reply to ArmpitFetishlol:
Forge.
I won't use it since I have some biomes which gets gravel mountains on my server but...
Just as SiriusWolf said below, how come no one thought of this earlier.
And why do I only notice it now ? -> might have something to do with me not really playing MC in years.
Congrats for the mod, it's a delight !
I'll be sure to use it (not on my server but anywhere else will be fine !).
Nice, but needs tweaking.

That’s not enough. This mod sucks! I won’t play it until it has at least twelve tweaking.

Could you add a function that if you break a gravel block, it'll still insta-mine the blocks above? It's a great mod, but it's a little tedious finding the solid block below the stack sometimes.
One slight problem I've noticed:
The torch is automatically placed at the level of the block that was mined, even if there's an air gap under it. It would be better if the torch was placed at the lowest open spot below the gravel column.
Great mod, thanks for making it!
How difficult would it be to add an option to enable the same function for falling sand? It would really improve cleanup after clearing a large area of water.
