DeepScale

⛏️ DeepScale | Dynamic Mining Difficulty

DeepScale is a lightweight gameplay enhancement mod that dynamically adjusts the hardness of stone-type blocks based on their Y-level (depth).

In vanilla Minecraft, stone is just as easy to break at the surface as it is near bedrock. DeepScale changes this by simulating geological pressure: the deeper you descend, the tougher the earth becomes.

✨ Features

• 📈 Pressure Scaling: Blocks gradually become harder to mine as you go deeper. Surface mining remains fast, while deep underground exploration requires more effort.
• 💎 Meaningful Progression: High-tier pickaxes and Efficiency enchantments become essential for deep-slate layers, giving more value to late-game gear.
• ⚙️ Zero-Waste Design: True to our modular philosophy, this mod adds zero new blocks or items. It modifies existing mechanics seamlessly and keeps your inventory clean.
• 🌍 Universal Compatibility: Designed to work with modded pickaxes and various stone types from other mods.

🚜 How it Works

• Surface Level: Standard vanilla mining speed.
• Deep Underground: As you pass Y=0 and head towards bedrock, geological pressure increases block resistance.
• Bedrock Proximity: The world feels solid and challenging. Only the strongest tools will maintain peak efficiency here.
