Suggestion Instabreakability of Deepslate

[Lampp_]

From my perspective, this isn't a question of making Minecraft easy and more of a question of removing factors that don't bring anyone enjoyment. As it stands right now mining a block of deep slate takes 6 times as long as an absolute minimum due to the nature of how breaking blocks works.

If you wanted to dig out a 21 x 7 x 21 room underground (3087 blocks) for a void storage room if it was made out of stone with your haste 2 beacons an efficiency 5 pickaxe could get that done in at most 5 minutes, with an absolute minimum time spent breaking blocks of 154.35 seconds.

Digging out a similar 21 x 7 x 21 room in deep slate would take quite literally 6 times as long for the digging which would take an absolute minimum of 926.1 seconds or 15.5 minutes, and that ignores the need of movement and the need of putting the items in storage systems.

I can think of so many things I would rather spend the 10 minutes I save digging out a hole, I could spend those 10 minutes building, and that is for a relatively small space. Consider the time investment necessary for something like an underground war room, which often can be in the realm of 30 x 15 x 30, quite literally 4.5 times larger which would take over an hour of time on the server to dig. I don't want to spend an hour digging out a war room. I don't think anyone wants to spend an hour digging out a war room.

That time could be spent in ways that are so much better, and so much more enjoyable which is why this should seriously be considered.

ok Einstein

I agree that the deepslate is a problem for people without beacons that want to mine out their town. However, I don't see a reasonable way to fix this problem seeing as you cannot adjust the hardness value of blocks. I don't see Efficiency VI getting added to Loka, or Haste IV.

Anyway, it isn't too hard to get a beacon if you really needed one. 1-2 weeks of mining trips could get you enough shards to afford one.

I mean isn't it just blocks below Y12? If you lived in a biome of deepslate I'd understand.
