Fast Mushroom Harvesting

Do you think it's a bit silly that you have to waste knife durability to harvest mushrooms when it should be easy and fast to just pick them by hand?

Or if (like me) you're using Salty & Toast's Immersive Mining which by default makes hand harvesting 2x slower, or if (like me) you've changed the Immersive Mining settings to make hand mining 3x or even 4x slower -- harvesting mushrooms ends up ridiculously slow.

 

This mod reduces the "mining resistance" value of all mushroom blocks down to 0.2 compared to the default of 1.5.  This results in a much faster and easier mushroom picking experience by hand without wasting your knife durability, and without affecting harvesting speed of other plants or anything else.

 

Version 0.2.0 Update:

• Right-Click Fast Harvesting: This release adds the ability to harvest mushrooms by simply right-clicking on them in the same manner as collecting loose sticks or stones! Thanks to Beedy for the suggestion, which I didn't think was possible at first but I was able to implement in JSON without resorting to code mods after all!  You don't get the block-breaking particle scatter effect this way, but the left-click-attack method still works the same and shows the particles so you can use either method you prefer.
• New Custom Mushroom-Plucking Sound: Added a new custom audio for mushroom picking, distinct from the generic plant/grass rustle noise in vanilla. Let me know what you think, open to feedback whether this is better or if I should remove it.
  
  

 

You can of course still use your knife to harvest if you want to and it will also be much faster.

 

Happy foraging!

Mod Support:

 

• • Mycodiversity - as of version 0.1.2, added compatibility/suport for Mycodiversity mod so all of the new mushrooms it adds will be included for fast harvesting.  Thanks Fairyfloss for the suggestion!
  • NDL ExpandedGrowth (Mushroom Growth Module) - is now fully compatible (as of its version 2.3.0) after working with NateDoesLife (thanks!) so that mushroom spores from his mod drop with either harvesting method.
