Salty´s Stone Harvesting.

Pet the floppa to buy me a coffee!

        

 

 

 

Breaking all the adjacent blocks to get a full Rock block is meh.
So I managed to create a little mechaninc a bit more immersive and dynamic. This is Salty's Stone Harvesting.

Okay first things first, This can get a little confusing at first but the concept is pretty simple. Now the rock blocks are divided in "cells", each face of the block has eight of them:

cell Mapping:

upper left
upper center
upper right
left center
right center
lower left
lower center
lower right

Explanation:
The mod will create cells for any FACE of a rock block you left click with a hammer and chisel in hand, it will read all eight blocks surrounding that FACE SIDES and register cells accordingly. A cell is registered on the face depending on where are the connecting blocks in relation to the face you clicked. If the face clicked has a block to the right, (your right) a right center cell will be created. Each hit on cells consumes one durability from the chisel (this can be disabled in the config files).

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">The mod do not counts for any adjacent block on the front or the back of the face you're working on. <span style="color: #e74c3c; --darkreader-inline-color: var(--darkreader-text-e74c3c, #8a8272); text-decoration: underline;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Only the sides.</span></span>

The mod will work with any direction the face you're working on is facing: north, south, east, weast, up, and down. And will translate the cells positions accordingly. This means you can work with any rock above or below you.

Confused?

Imagine that the rock you want to collect is stuck and that you need to "loosen" all the edges holding it in place to get it.

So let's go to the tutorial, i've prepared some scenarios that you may face using the mod:

&nbsp;

Pillar:

This is the most basic and easiest to understand:

See how with a single hit the block dropped? That's because It only had one adjacent block (stone material) for the face I clicked this adjacent block being the block above it. So in that case, the only chiseling needed was the upper center cell since it was the one connecting to the adjacent block.

Cross:

The cross shape is still very simple, but does require more clicks:

&nbsp;

Here I analyse that the Rock I want to harvest has 4 adjacent blocks on the sides of the face&nbsp;I'm aiming. So in this case I need to click the cells Upper Center, Right Center, Lower Center and Left Center since they&acute;re the ones connecting to the rocks around it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. The order that you click the cells makes no difference but all of the required cells in a single face needs to be completed for the block to drop.

&nbsp;

Wall:

Now a scenario that uses all the 8 adjacent blocks and the 8 cells of the block face:

In this one I understand that the face I was looking had in all it sides adjacent blocks. In that case I will need to chisel all eight cells of that face.

There's countless other scenarios to make as an example but now it's up to you! Read the environment, analyse the adjacent blocks, experiment with the mod and get that sweet sweet rock block! ;D
