Since forever, i’ve had this idea of the waystones being unbreakable.
\nhaving them like so would make any location that has a natural one… well, prime real estate, wouldn’t it?
\nThis isn’t exactly that, since that would take away too much of the mod’s flexibility<\/p>\n

Instead, this is an elegant compromise.<\/p>\n

![Example of the datapack working](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/4b2d82befcd5db4ed68a44e79cc5832fabf28179.png)<\/p>\n

### This datapack makes waystones only breakable with netherite pickaxes.
\nThat’s pretty much it.
\nCompatible with the forge, fabric, and neoforge versions of the mod that have issue No. 1127 fixed.
\nAt release it’s only 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, but all future versions should work fine and dandy as well.<\/p>\n

The waystones aren’t mineable only with netherite of course, if any mod adds other tier 4 pickaxes, they will work just as well.<\/p>\n

the resourcepack from screenshots is the amazing Fresh Waystones Retexture.<\/p>\n
