Usage

Gravel Miner breaks configured gravel-like blocks above the block you mine.

Gravel Miner breaks configured gravel-like blocks above the block you mine.

By default, it triggers in two situations:

  • when you break a block directly below gravel
  • when you mine gravel itself

The mod then checks upward from the mined block and clears the vertical column until it reaches a block that is not configured as gravel.

In survival, cleared blocks drop as if you had mined them yourself. The tool in your main hand is used for those automated breaks, so normal tool-sensitive behavior still applies. In creative mode, the blocks are removed without survival drops.

Gravel Miner is meant for clearing falling-block columns above you. It does not mine broad veins or nearby gravel patches, and fake-player block breaking will not trigger it.

Server admins can change which blocks count as gravel with the gravelBlocks config option. The default is minecraft:gravel; other blocks need to be added by block ID, such as modid:name.
