Description
Weak Spot Mining
Brings Fortnite-style weak spot harvesting to Minecraft 1.12.2.
While you mine, farm, ride, draw a bow and more, a glowing circle — a weak spot — appears. Aim at it to speed things up. Hit spots in a row to build a combo: the hit sound climbs the scale and the boost grows.
Features
- 19 kinds of weak spots, from mining and farming to travel, combat, falling and even sleeping
- Target practice: craft a Weak Spot Target and play a 30-second aiming mini-game anywhere. Your best score unlocks new marker looks (star shape, silver sparkle, gold sparks, rainbow)
- Combo system with a rising hit sound and a per-kind multiplier shown on screen
- Stats, milestones and advancements: hits per kind, rewards at milestones (announced to everyone on the server), an advancement tab and a server leaderboard (
/weakspot top) - Customizable: turn each kind on or off, change marker colors, shapes and size, pick hit sounds
- In-game guide book that explains every kind (English and Japanese)
- Multiplayer friendly: see other players' hits, and server admins can tune or disable each kind
Kinds of weak spots
| Kind | How | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | Hold left click on a block | Digs faster (even faster with a combo); repairs your tool a little when the block breaks |
| Growth | Hold right click with an empty hand on a growing crop or sapling | Grows it faster |
| Harvest | Hold right click with an empty hand on a ripe crop | Harvests and replants it |
| Machine | Sneak and hold right click with an empty hand on a furnace or other machine | Speeds the machine up |
| Animal | Hold right click with an empty hand on an animal (sneak for horses, villagers, etc.) | Speeds up growing up, breeding cooldown, wool, eggs and villager trade restocking |
| Fishing | Hold a fishing rod and aim at the spot near the bobber | Fish bite sooner |
| Bow | Aim at the spot while drawing a bow | Draws faster; after a full draw, arrows hit harder |
| Melee | Hold a sword or axe near enemies and aim at the spot | Charges up your next attack; with a sword, the sweep hits the whole crowd too |
| Throwing | Hold ender pearls, snowballs, etc. and aim at the spot | Your next throw flies faster and farther |
| Eating | Aim at the spot while eating or drinking | Finishes sooner |
| Vehicle | Aim at the spot while riding a horse, pig, minecart or boat | Moves faster |
| Ladder | Aim at the spot while climbing a ladder or vines | Climbs faster |
| Sprint | Aim at the spot while sprinting | Runs faster |
| Elytra | Aim at the spot while flying | Launches you where you look |
| Portal | Aim at the spot while standing in a nether portal | Travels sooner |
| Swim | Aim at the spot while swimming | A short dash, then faster swimming |
| Fall | Aim at the spot while falling from a height | Takes less fall damage |
| Sleeping | Move the cursor over the marker on the sleep screen at night | Morning comes sooner |
| Enchanting | Click the marker on the enchanting table screen | Rerolls the three offers (costs nothing) |
Growth, harvest, machine and animal spots also appear while you hold an item that does nothing on right click (pickaxes, sticks, ingots…).
