About this Mod
✅ Features
⛏️ Block Breaking Restriction
Restricts mining to only the blocks you define
Optional reverse mode:
Whitelist mode → only listed blocks can be broken
Blacklist mode → listed blocks cannot be broken
Prevents breaking all other blocks outside the active rules
Useful for farming, challenge setups, event servers, or focused grinding
📋 Multiple Block Lists
Create multiple custom lists/profiles
Rename, edit, and delete lists directly in the GUI
Activate one list or multiple lists at the same time
Quickly switch between different setups depending on your task
Examples:
Wool farming list
Ore mining list
Event-specific list
Blacklist for protected blocks
🧩 Wildcard Entries
Supports grouped entries like:
_wool
_ore
This automatically adds all matching blocks based on the block id
Examples:
_wool → red_wool, blue_wool, white_wool, etc.
_ore → all ore blocks matching that suffix
This makes large categories much faster to configure
