Block Breakers

A new type of redstone component that can break blocks.

It was crafted using a diamond tool. If said diamond tool was enchanted, the block breaker would also be enchanted. Efficiency let it break more blocks in front of it, while fortune and silk touch did exactly what you’d expect.

This feature was removed as it clashed with Mojang’s design principles and my own sanity.

History

1.0.0	X	While breaking blocks with a redstone component is a cool idea, the feature borders on the useless side. Also, breaking blocks without user input is against Mojang’s design principles, and I would like to stick to those, especially in this context. From the polls I took, it seems that people only used the pickaxe variant of the block breakers, ignoring the other ones entirely… and they only used it for cobblestone generators. I simply don’t believe that automated cobblestone farms justify having such a resource-intensive, complicated feature.
