About this project

What does Glass Breaker add?

Usually glass breaks at a fixed speed, no matter what tool you use.

This changes that, so glass can now be broken faster with a pickaxe, as if it were any other block.

glassbreaker

List of what the game considers "glass" blocks:

  • Glass blocks + panes + stained variants (duh)
  • Glowstone
  • Redstone Lamps (1.20+)
  • Sea Lanterns
  • Beacons
  • Conduits

Compatible with:

  • Efficiency, Silk Touch, etc.
  • Any mod that adds pickaxes, including pickaxe-like tools, like Pickle Tweaks' paxels.
  • Any mod that adds glass, like Glassential!

(in all honesty it works in a kinda-hacky way but it should be fine ;) )

(ignore the "Release" and "Beta" markers on the downloads; they're all the same version)

(if you're looking for a vanilla-compatible datapack equivalent, check out Pickaxe Effective Glass! note, however, that it only works with vanilla glass, due to the limits of the vanilla datapack system.)
