# MiningZ
\nDesigned to gently bring back the **Harvest Level** mechanic for blocks.
\nIt helps make sure players are using the right tier of tools for the job, just like in the old modpacks.<\/p>\n

It also adds Prospector Picks, which are really handy for finding resources without making a big mess of the terrain.<\/p>\n

Everything is fully configurable, so you can set it up exactly how you like it.<\/p>\n

### Harvest Levels
\nThis feature lets you restore the mining hierarchy. You can decide which harvest level is required to break specific blocks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite easy to configure. You can simply add your settings via a datapack right here: <\/p>\n

\n}

<\/p>\n

### Prospector Picks
\nTo help you out while mining, we\u2019ve included Prospector Picks. These allow you to dig into blocks and check for nearby ores.<\/p>\n

When you use one, it will let you know what it found via a subtle text notification. Just enough to be helpful without cluttering up your chat.<\/p>\n

If you want to adjust which blocks the picks work on, you can adjust the block tag):<\/p>\n
