Mining Speed

is one of the player statistics. It is a measure of the block-breaking time.

Mechanics
Any item that increases mining speed by a base value (such as ) can be thought of as a decrease of the base breaking time.

does not affect private islands, The Farming Islands, The Park and dungeons. These places use the vanilla mining speed.

There is no known cap for.

Increasing Mining Speed
Players can increase their from the following methods


 * Holding a Pickaxe or Drill, which grants base Mining Speed
 * Using the Efficiency Enchantment, granting up to Mining Speed (or  on a Stonk and up to  Mining speed by upgrading the efficiency level of a pickaxe using Silex)
 * Using a Mining Speed increasing Reforge, such as Fleet
 * Wearing Mining Gear that has Mining Speed status
 * Upgrading the Level 1 Perk "Mining Speed" in the Heart of the Mountain, granting Mining Speed per Level
 * By having the Titanium Talisman (or its upgraded variants) granting mining speed as talisman,  as ring,  as artifact and  as relic.
 * Certain pets such as the Mithril Golem Pet
 * Applying Amber Gemstones to certain items

Mining Fatigue Effect
Players are given the Mining Fatigue Effect while in public islands (not private islands, The Farming Islands, The Park and dungeons) to remove the vanilla mining behavior (client-side mining animations) and let the server handle the animations itself. It does not slow down or remove Mining Speed, but is in fact necessary for the Mining Speed implementation.

It also provides additional aesthetic benefits:


 * No breaking/mining animation (except for the swinging) for blocks that cannot be broken
 * No ghost blocks due to mining blocks
 * No block rollbacks
 * Mining animation synced up with the server's speed (server's TPS)
 * Blocks don't turn into air before getting replaced by bedrock (or another block)

This however didn't change known Bugs with ghost blocks in private islands and dungeons, as there is no Mining Fatigue Effect in these places.

Interactions

 * Ore-specific mining speed increases (see Mithril Golem Pet and Mithril Pickaxe) are not affected by Mining Speed Boost.

Achieving Maximum Mining Speed
By getting all of the following:


 * Lvl 100 Legendary Bal Pet (15% boost while in magma fields)


 * A full set of recombobulated Jaded Divan Armor and Perfect Amber applied to all pieces twice (320 armor + 240 reforge + 800 Perfect Jade = 1360)


 * An Heated Divan's Drill (240 while on Y=31 in crystal hollows + 1800) with 10 (achieved using silex and giving 210 mining speed) with Perfect Amber (100) and Blue Cheese Goblin Omelette applied to it


 * Talisman, Ring or Artifact of Power with Perfect Amber Gemstone (50)


 * Titanium Talisman, Ring, Artifact and Relic (160)


 * Looking at the direction of the wind (600)


 * Maxed Mining Speed (1000), Mining Speed II (2000), Mining Madness (100), and Front Loaded (100), Precision Mining (30% boost) HotM upgrades and Mining Speed boost Pickaxe ability

With all of the above it is possible to achieve  without any abilities or event and   while looking in the direction of wind at particle from precision mining perk while having Mining Speed Boost ability Active
