Dig Speed

Is it possible to change dig speed at all?
I know worldedit can make it instant and such, but how would I do this?
I am trying to make all blocks that take more than 1 second to break by diamond pickaxe take .5 seconds. Any ideas?

 

Slow digging and fast digging potion effects are as good as it gets.

Or enchantments.

 

Haste and Mining Fatigue.

EDIT: Ninja'd again

 

xD
Anyway, I suppose they're the way to go. FAST MINING 400 FTW

 

It's possible to do it without the potion effects... but it's extremely difficult to get right.

 

Impossible you say? What about this?:

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
    public void addSlowDigging(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        Player p = event.getPlayer();
            if (event.getClickedBlock().getType() == Material.DIAMOND.ORE) {
            p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW_DIGGING, 300, 1));
        }
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if (event.getBlock().getType() == Material.DIAMOND_ORE) {
            if (player.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW_DIGGING)) {
                player.removePotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW_DIGGING);
 
            }
        }
    }

 

Lol, I was talking about how you said extremely difficult.

I belive you don't understand the word "without", it means "not with", therefore he was talking about doing it in any other way would be difficult and potion efects are the easy way.

 

He was saying it was hard to get right, so I showed him the code I wrote that made it easy.

It's hard to get right without potion effects.

EDIT: unrealdesign yep, poor horse.

 

I think you're beating a dead horse haha

 

use the block damage event, i was bored and was looking through the bukkit source code, found that and it said something like event.setInstantBreak()
