About this Mod

No Mining Without Tools restricts block breaking based on the block type. Key features include:

Stone and Wood Restrictions: Players must use the correct tools (e.g., pickaxes for stone, axes for wood) to break these blocks.

Dirt Restrictions: Dirt blocks require a shovel to be mined efficiently; otherwise, mining speed is reduced by 90%.

Whitelist: Certain blocks can be added to a whitelist via datapack for unrestricted mining.

Best used with mods like TerraFirmaCraft or Hot Iron.
