Overview

Lucky Mining is a gameplay mod for Hytale that rewards consecutive mining by increasing your chances of obtaining extra ores. The more you mine in a row, the higher your chances of bonuses!

Developed by Buuz135, a legendary modder in the community with over 657 million downloads on CurseForge, Lucky Mining aligns with the "Quality of Life" philosophy: making farming more engaging without disrupting the game balance.

How Does It Work?

The concept is simple yet addictive:

  1. Mine an ore from the allowed list
  2. The ore has a chance to reappear immediately
  3. Keep mining to increase your bonus chances
  4. Watch the timing: if you wait too long or mine a different type of block, the counter resets

Visual and Sound Feedback

Lucky Mining informs you when the bonus triggers through:

  • A visible particle effect on screen
  • A distinctive sound effect

You will know immediately when luck is on your side!

Compatible Ores

The mod works with all the main ores in Hytale:

Silver Ore_Silver_
Gold Ore_Gold_
Cobalt Ore_Cobalt_
Thorium Ore_Thorium
Mithril Ore_Mithril_
