Tunneling
Tunneling is a strong enchantment that lets you mine huge chunks with one swing. It comes in three levels, letting your tools break 3x3, 5x5, or 7x7 areas based on where you’re looking.
About this Mod
Tired of tedious strip mining? The Tunneling enchantment revolutionizes resource gathering by enabling your pickaxes, shovels, axes, and hoes to break multiple blocks at once. Simply enchant your tool and watch as entire sections clear with each swing. The enchantment comes in three power levels: Tunneling I clears a 3x3 area, Tunneling II expands to 5x5, and Tunneling III dominates with a massive 7x7 zone. You can acquire this enchantment naturally through the enchanting table, by trading with villagers, or by discovering it in dungeon loot chests. The mod maintains balanced gameplay by consuming tool durability for each block broken, and features smart directional mining that automatically clears blocks in a flat plane perpendicular to your view direction.
