Heart of the Mountain

The Heart of the Mountain (HotM) is a skill tree related to.

As players level up their Heart of the Mountain, they will gain Tokens of the Mountain, which can be used to unlock various perks. Some of these perks will take effect only on public islands with new mining mechanism (alongside with infinite Mining Fatigue).

Mechanics
A Heart of the Mountain Menu showing all perks up to Level 7 at max level.

The menu can be accessed via the SkyBlock menu (while inside the Dwarven Mines and Crystal Hollows), via the Mining skill menu, or anywhere via the  command.

Players can level up their Heart of the Mountain tiers by gaining HotM experience, which can be accumulated by completing Commissions and participating in various active mining events (e.g. Goblin Raid). Note that unlocking the whole tree at the same time is not possible, due to the insufficient amount of available Tokens of the Mountain.

Each Commission completed in Dwarven Mines grants 100 HotM experience, and each one completed in Crystal Hollows gives 400 HotM experience. Players receive additional 900 HotM experience from completion of the first four Commissions, if HotM Tier is below 7. Otherwise players earn additional 1,600 Mithril Powder or Gemstone Powder instead, depending on the area.

The Heart of the Mountain can be reset. This wipes all of the HotM upgrades and returns all spent Mithril Powder, Gemstone Powder and Tokens of the Mountain. However HotM tier and Peak of the Mountain levels are kept; thus powder spent on upgrading Peak of the Mountain is not reimbursed. The first reset is free, but each subsequent reset costs. Resetting the HotM has a cooldown of 24 hours.
