⛏️ adknn's Better Pickaxe Animation

Mining is a core part of the adventure, but looking at the same static, straight-ahead chopping motion for hours can get repetitive. adknn's Better Pickaxe Animation is a straightforward visual overhaul designed to replace the default mining action with something much more dynamic and satisfying to watch.

This mod focuses purely on aesthetics, changing how your character swings the pickaxe without altering gameplay mechanics.

🌟 Key Features

  • Dynamic Directional Swings: Instead of the default "poking" motion, this mod introduces wide, sweeping arcs to your mining action.
  • Side-to-Side Action: The character now visibly swings the pickaxe alternating from left-to-right and right-to-left across the target block.
  • RPG-Style Visuals: The new sweeping motions give the act of mining a classic RPG feel, making the tool look like it's actually being swung with force.

🎮 How This Improves Your Experience

  • Visual Variety: The alternating side-to-side swings break the visual monotony of long mining sessions, making the simple act of digging more pleasing to the eye.
  • Satisfying Feedback: Watching a proper swing arc connects you better to the action, making gathering resources feel less like a chore and more like an activity.
