From Thunderstorea mod that makes mining and chopping easier. Server can tune configs how many swings the trees/rocks will get destroyed and how much stamina each swing cost.
How to use in game

ActivationKeyto empty orNoneto make the mod always active.
Configuration (kou_minechop.cfg)
[General]
| Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | Enabled | true | Master switch. false = mod behaves as if uninstalled. | | ServerAuthoritative | true | Server's config overrides clients' on connect. | | ActivationKey | LeftAlt | Mod only works while this key is held. Any UnityEngine.KeyCode name (e.g. LeftControl, X). Empty/None = always active. |
[Trees]
| Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | MinHits | 2 | Minimum hits to fell a tree/log. | | MaxHits | 2 | Maximum hits. If greater than MinHits, each tree rolls a random count between them (deterministic per tree). | | StaminaPerHit | 15 | Stamina drained per axe swing. |
[Rocks]
| Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | MinHits | 3 | Minimum hits to destroy an ore vein/rock. | | MaxHits | 7 | Maximum hits (random roll per rock between min and max). | | StaminaPerHit | 15 | Fallback stamina per pickaxe swing when no table entry matches. | | StaminaPercentTable | 3:50,4:40,5:30,6:15,7:10 | Per-swing mining stamina as a percent of max stamina, keyed by the rock's rolled hit count. Format: hits:percent,hits:percent,... |
Example: a rock that rolled 5 hits drains 30% of your max stamina per swing with the default table.
Tip: set MinHits == MaxHits for a fixed hit count.
How it works
Instead of altering damage numbers (which drift with world modifiers), the mod counts swings per target: non-final swings deal minimal damage, and the final swing destroys the target — so the configured hit count is exact regardless of tool tier or skill level.
Uninstall
Delete modbykou_minechop.dll from BepInEx/plugins/. Optionally delete BepInEx/config/kou_minechop.cfg.
