About this Mod

🔧 Core Features

⛏ Progressive Block Damage

Blocks no longer break instantly. Each block has its own durability level and multiple destruction stages that must be depleted before the block is fully destroyed. 🧱


🧱 Tier-Based Breaking Speed

Tool tiers significantly affect destruction efficiency:

  • Wooden and Golden tools are ineffective and degrade rapidly against high-tier blocks.
  • Stone, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite tools scale properly with block integrity.
  • Higher-tier blocks require stronger tools and more time to break.

This mechanic prevents early-game griefing and encourages natural progression. 📈


👤 Block Ownership System

  • Persistent Ownership: Every placed block stores its original owner.
  • Quick Inspection: Sneak (Shift) to view ownership information.
  • Team Support: Full support for team and faction-style gameplay.
  • Deep Integration: Ownership is directly tied to the integrity system. 🛡️

🛠 Repair Mechanic

Damaged blocks don’t always have to be replaced. Use a repair tool (e.g., a Spatula) to restore lost integrity stages.

This allows for:

  • Active base maintenance.
  • Post-raid recovery.
  • Long-term structure durability. 🛠️

Frequently Asked Questions

HardBlocks server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is HardBlocks compatible with forge?

HardBlocks officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with HardBlocks – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HardBlocks consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
