    Mining, more than half of minecraft is mining for most, and we have mcmmo. A good strategy used to be using a silk touch pickaxe to get double ores of diamond, and use fortune later, but now you disable double drops. Was it really too OP? I have at least 48 hours of mining, and I would have had just over 1/3 chance to get double drops if they had been enabled. It's not really OP if it takes that long to get a decent chance. Ok, let's look at other problems, since multiple drops are disabled, using Super Breaker is pretty counter-intuitive. Sure, you go faster for a few seconds, but your pick gets damaged significantly more. May we please have something?

    We could go back to vanilla mining? There always seemed to be less complaints about that...

    Typical diamond vein: 6 blocks
    Silk touch return: 8 blocks (at 1/3)
    Fortune 3 (120% increase): 17.6 diamonds | ~4 veins per stack
    Fortune w/o silk touch: 13.2 diamonds | ~5 veins per stack

    I think North_Korean got his double drop chance to 1/2
    Fortune 3 + 50% double drop: 19.8 diamonds | 3.2 veins per stack
    Fortune 3 + 100% double drop: 26.4 diamonds | 2.3 veins per stack

    This thread now has numbers, make of them what you will. I really don't care about the outcome :P

    Would be ok without mcmmo saying I leveled up something useless.

    I don't know what you're talking about, since we got mcmmo back double drops have been disabled. All it did when we had it back in SC 1.0 was make everyone extremely rich and self sufficient making the economy almost useless (people actually lived in towns/nations so rupies were actually needed for taxes). Unless you can think of a way to get rid of all of the items it would bring in, bringing double drops back would really be of no benefit to the server, it would just make the game easier and it's already pretty easy.

    As for the actual skill, it is mainly a bragging right. If you get to level 1000 or something you get something special from Nifix.

    Again, this has been bought up so many times and it's pointless to repeat itself. Locked.
