Ages Mining

Turn every mining trip into a real expedition.

Ages Mining brings immersive cave-in mechanics to Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, inspired by TerraFirmaCraft.
Digging deep is no longer routine: unsupported ceilings crack, warn you, and collapse if you ignore the danger.

Why you’ll love it

  • High tension, fair gameplay: cave-ins are dangerous, but readable and avoidable.
  • Clear warning system: dust, cracking sounds, and action bar alerts before disaster strikes.
  • Meaningful engineering loop: build proper mine infrastructure with supports, not just torches.
  • Server-ready performance: async checks, queue limits, and caching built in.

Core Features

  • Realistic cave-in simulation for underground mining
  • Chain collapses for dramatic, natural-looking cave failures
  • Configurable damage from falling blocks
  • Two support blocks:
  • Mine Support Pillar for vertical reinforcement
  • Mine Support Beam for horizontal ceiling support
  • Admin/debug commands (/agesmining ...)
  • Datapack-friendly block tags for compatibility and customization

Built for modpacks

Ages Mining is designed to drop into survival-focused packs and instantly make mining more strategic, immersive, and rewarding.

Fully configurable via: config/agesmining-common.toml

Tune collapse chance, depth thresholds, support ranges, effects, propagation, and performance limits to match your pack’s difficulty and server needs.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft: 1.20.1
  • Loader: Forge 47.2.0+
  • Optional: Jade integration (client-side)

If you want mining to feel dangerous, atmospheric, and memorable, Ages Mining delivers.
