I had a great idea for a mining donation feature. I don't know how much it would cost but I thought of it one day while I was mining. As I was mining, I kept on running into gravel. Every good miner knows that gravel is his worst enemy. To be honest it really is a pain in the behind! But I have thought of a good way to counter this. It would be a skill, just like tree feller. You use a special shovel or some type of item from a kit from the donation feature. You can right click with this special tool and then break all of the gravel attached to the gravel broken. The gravel would only be destroyed if it is within a chunk or a certain amount of blocks, to reduce widespread lag. This would get rid of the pain in the behind gravel. This is a great idea and I hope that whoever reads this can help refine and improve it. If this does get created, it might be cool for me to get the kit! -Dragon
Tree feller is part of mcmmo, and this might be possible to be added, not sure though. Excavation is OP as it is.
This is a great idea. I like possibly being able to break a whole gravel vein in 1 hit. It doesn't even seem overpowered at all to me.
Since gravel kinda lost all purposes in the server i'd give this a +1. however when you said "Gravel is annoying" , I'd have to disagree. If im strip mining i rely on finding dirt/gravel to excavate and get my music disks ($100 per disk) and to find ores faster. Its not entirely annoying just depends on how you mine. ;p
I would say yes... but sometimes gravel pits can be pretty large and i would rather not have my diamond eff5 unb 3 shovel get destroyed because the pit was larger than i expected, just excavate it the usual way and just get through it Plus this would be a pain in the behind to get into the game
