Description
Detominer is a server-side mining mod that adds a new enchantment called "Detonate". This enchantment allows you to mine in a 3x3 radius of blocks, making it ideal to find ores. It features a vanilla-friendly approach to player builds, only destroying blocks that can naturally generate.
Default blocks list that can detonate:

Modifying the config file
Since the version 4.0 release now packages the pack in a form of an actual mod, you now have access to the Detominer's configuration settings that can be found inside your config folder:

Parameters
disable_detonate_when_sneaking
boolean | default = true
- If set to true, players can bypass or disable block mining detonation when they are sneaking.
only_mine_with_proper_tool
boolean | default = true
- If set to true, players will need the correct tool tier to detonate certain blocks.
- If set to false, players can detonate any block listed in the config, regardless of tool.
- If set to false, also enables detonation of custom blocks from other mods.
block_break:detonate_levels:xyz
any positive integer | see config above for default values
- These settings allow you to customize how many blocks you can detonate.
- Take note that the point of origin is always the block in your cursor.
- The XYZ coordinates specify the location of the blocks based from where you're facing.
- Coordinate X is the left and right of your screen.
- Coordinate Y is the up and down of your screen.
- Coordinate Z is the front and back of your screen.
allowed_blocks:minecraft:<tools>
any valid block id | see config above for default values
- These settings allow you to customize the blocks you can detonate.
- Data insertion must follow the format: "<namespace>:<block>".
- Blocks specified on specific tools will only detonate for those specific tools.
- You cannot add, modify, or remove the tools listed in the config, you can only edit the blocks you want to detonate.
Important Notes
-
The enchantment is exclusive to pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, and shears.
-
The enchantment only destroys blocks if the player is holding the correct tool. This means that if you're mining a stone block and there's a dirt block nearby, it'll only destroy the pickaxe-mineable blocks like stone and therefore skips the dirt block entirely.
-
The enchantment can be found at your local enchanting tables, villager trades, and/or can be found inside treasure chests like the ones from the ancient cities.
-
The config file is dynamic. This means that the game will automatically recognize if you add or modify the values in your config, allowing you to experience the changes in real time.
-
If you want to reset your config settings, you can delete the config file and restart your game, it will auto-generate a fresh one for you.
-
For those who are still using the datapack version, if you wish to fully remove the datapack, you may run:
/function detonate:uninstallMake sure you remove the datapack before reloading the world.
