FAQ

Does the infusion take an enchantment slot, or add a glint?

No. It's a permanent tool property, not an enchantment — no glint, no slot used, and it isn't removed by a grindstone.

Does it work with modded pickaxes?

Yes, as long as the pickaxe is tagged #minecraft:pickaxes. Well-behaved third-party pickaxes generally are.

Can I re-infuse an already-infused pickaxe?

No — the recipe only matches a pickaxe that hasn't been infused yet.

Does the extra area break protected or out-of-reach blocks?

No. Every secondary block goes through the same protection, hardness and harvestability checks a normal single swing would apply. See Mining Areas and Controls.

Do I need Mod Menu?

No — it's entirely optional. Without it, the preview toggle is available by editing the client config file directly. See Configuration.

Does this survive netherite upgrades?

Yes. Diamond-to-netherite smithing preserves the infusion and its currently selected mode.

Is this safe for multiplayer / survival servers?

Yes. The server is the authoritative source for what breaks; client-side prediction never breaks blocks on its own, and each player's mode is independent.
