Makes deepslate mine exactly like stone with a netherite pickaxe. With the same setup that lets you insta-mine stone (Efficiency V + Haste II), deepslate goes instant too. No more grinding through deepslate one slow crack at a time.
Part of the W4VE family (Code Ware 4 Vanilla Experience).
Deepslate's hardness is 3.0, exactly twice stone's 1.5. RipDeepslate simply
doubles the block-breaking speed of deepslate when you hold a netherite pickaxe, so
the game treats it as if it had stone's hardness. That's it. No changes to blast
resistance, drops, or anything else, and it only affects deepslate (not cobbled
deepslate, tiles, bricks, or ores).
The mod runs on client and server. That is the whole trick:
- In vanilla Minecraft the client predicts block breaking locally. If only the server thinks deepslate is fast, the client keeps playing the slow crack animation and fights the server, giving you ghost blocks and stutter.
- With RipDeepslate on both sides, the client does the exact same math the server does. It breaks the block locally and instantly, no crack animation, no ghosting, no desync. Smooth, like stone should be.
- Minecraft 1.21
- Fabric Loader (0.16+)
- A netherite pickaxe (and Efficiency V + Haste II if you want it fully instant)
No Fabric API or other dependencies. Single jar.
Drop ripdeepslate-x.y.z.jar into your mods/ folder.
- Players: put it in
.minecraft/mods/(or your instance's mods folder). - Server: put it in the server's
mods/folder.
Both the server and every player who wants smooth deepslate mining need it installed. A player without the mod just mines deepslate at vanilla speed.
