This mod makes cracked rock blocks roughly twice as unstable as their normal variants. In case you thought you wern't dying to cave-ins often enough.

To compensate, you'll take a bit less damage if they fall on you, and you'll be able to dig yourself out of cave-ins by hand (be it dead or alive). This also opens up the possibility to dig a cliffside hole to sleep in on day 1, if you're feeling lucky and find a vein of cracked rock!

 

Specifically, it tweaks these properties for cracked rock blocks, with different values based on rock type:

  • collapseChance - increased by between 0.1 - 0.25
  • maxSupportDistance - halved
  • impactDamageMul - decreased from 6 to 4 (it's not a solid block after all)
  • requiredMiningTier - set to 0 (minable by hand)
  • collapsedBlock - Cracked rock turns to gravel when it falls (New in v1.0.4!)

 

If you don't have cave-ins enabled in your world, the instability-related changes should have no effect.

this mod inspired me to turn on cave ins, and i've been having a ton of fun. thank you for this!

💬 Davee , May 8th at 12:31 PM

Ryumachinae It's a feature now! :)

💬 Davee , May 6th at 7:47 PM

Ryumachinae Good idea! I'll have to check if there are any cracked rock variants that don't have a gravel equivalent and do some testing to see how it plays, but in theory it should be pretty simple to do.

Nice, should be in vanilla :)

nice, is there a chance you could look at how collapses work. I awlays thought cracked rock that collapses should then turn into Gravel.
