The ability of items in this set is unique and works similar to the Heart of the Mountain Perk "Efficient Miner", though it doesn't only work with Ores, as explained below. 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 PickobulusHeart of the Mountain ability, the Mineral Armor's Ability will trigger around the first block Pickobulus mines.
Affected Blocks[]
All blocks that can be broken with a Pickaxe on Public Islands and require Ⓟ Breaking Power of 3 or less will be affected by this armor Full Set Bonus.
Tips[]
The cooldown of Mineral Armor is also increased the more pieces you use. It is generally recommended to use 3/4 pieces of Mineral Armor and one piece of Divan's Armor for maximum efficiency.
Trivia[]
It was once 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 was best used for leveling up Mining by mining End Stone in the End. When using this method, it is best to use a Stonk so that Endermites don't spawn. This method can result in up to +600,000Mining XP per Hour. However, since the introduction of the Dwarven Mines and Crystal Hollows, mining Mithril or completing commissions is much more efficient.
Although it isn't stated in the armor itself, the Mineral Armor special effect does not work on private islands.
