Mineral Armor

Mineral Armor is an Armor set that increases the amount of blocks with breaking power of 4 or less that the player can mine with a pickaxe. This armor is crafted with Refined Minerals that drop from ores during the Mining Fiesta event when Cole (or Foxy and Jerry) is in office.

Crafting
Requires: Hardened Diamond Armor + 24 Refined Minerals.

Ability
The ability of items in this set is unique. When a player with one set piece equipped mines a block, up to two random blocks in a 3x3x3 radius (centered on the first block mined) will be mined too. Wearing each piece will mine two blocks, capping at eight blocks with a full set equipped.

If a player throws their pickaxe with the Pickobulus Heart of the Mountain ability, the Mineral Armor's ability will trigger around the first block Pickobulus mines.

Unaffected Blocks
All blocks that can be broken with a pickaxe on public islands WILL be affected by this armor set's effect. Obsidian in The End and the Deep Caverns, Block of Diamond in the Deep Caverns, and Glowstone in the Blazing Fortress will NOT be mined when the effect on this armor triggers. Mithril and Titanium will also NOT be affected by this armor because their breaking power is 5 which is higher than the Mineral Armor's capability to activate its ability.

However, mining these blocks will break other affected blocks within the radius. For example, mining Glowstone with this armor equipped will often cause the player to mine Netherrack, as they are within close proximity to each other in the Blazing Fortress.

Known Bugs

 * Collection progress will not be given for 60-80% of said collections while wearing the armor. This includes ANY collection. (Example, Foraging for wood will grant 5 collection progress for 10-15 wood chopped. Even though the set should have no effect on this.)

Trivia

 * While not present in the Essence Guide, it is possible to obtain a Dungeon Armor version of this set by turning the base Hardened Diamond Armor into a dungeon item via Essence Crafting.
 * This set is best used for leveling up the Mining Skill by mining Endstone in the End. When using this method, it is best to use a Stonk Pickaxe so that Endermites don't spawn. This method can net upwards of 600,000 mining XP per hour when using a LVL. 100 Silverfish and a Refined Stonk with the Compact enchantment. If the player is lucky, Cole will be in office and a Mining Fiesta will be active, multiplying the XP gain by 2.25, increasing the XP yield to 1.35 million per hour.
 * Although it isn't stated in the armor itself, the Mineral armor special effect does not work in private islands.
 * Mineral Armor can now only activate its ability if the blocks have a breaking power of 4 or less.
