MiningBoost

MiningBoost

Faster mining, your way. MiningBoost speeds up block breaking while a player holds a tool, and gives Efficiency-enchanted tools an extra edge — all fully configurable, with no commands or permissions required to just work.

Built for Paper 26.1+ using the modern player-attribute system, so it stays fast and vanilla-friendly with no hacks.

Features

• ⛏️ Speeds up all mining done with a tool (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, shears).
• ✨ Extra boost applied to the Efficiency enchantment, so enchanted tools pull ahead.
• 🎚️ Two independent, configurable boost values.
• 🔧 Per-tool toggles — enable or disable each tool type.
• ♻️ Live reload with /miningboost reload — no restart needed.
• 🪶 Lightweight and survival-friendly; bare-hand breaking stays vanilla.

How it works

MiningBoost uses two vanilla player attributes:

• break-speed-boost multiplies your overall mining speed (base tool speed and Efficiency).
• efficiency-boost multiplies only the Efficiency enchantment's contribution.

Because break-speed multiplies everything, the Efficiency portion benefits from both boosts while the base tool speed only gets the first — so enchanted tools always come out a little further ahead.

Example

A Diamond Pickaxe with Efficiency I on stone, using defaults (break-speed-boost: 1.5, efficiency-boost: 0.05):

Vanilla would be 8 + 2 = 10, so it ends up about 2.5× faster.

Installation

1. Download the latest MiningBoost-x.x.x.jar.
2. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder.
3. Restart the server. A default config.yml is generated on first run.

Configuration

plugins/MiningBoost/config.yml. Values are multipliers: 0.05 = +5%, 1.5 = +150%, 0 = off.

break-speed-boost: 1.5    # overall mining speed (base + Efficiency)
efficiency-boost: 0.05    # extra boost to ONLY the Efficiency bonus
tools:
  pickaxe: true
  axe: true
  shovel: true
  hoe: true
  shears: true

Edit the file, then run /miningboost reload in-game to apply changes instantly.
