Lore & Background
Legends say that the first brewers could clear entire caverns before the sun set, their tools moving with a speed that blurred the line between labor and dance. In the deepest mines, where shadows cling tightest, adventurers still seek this golden-blue nectar to carve paths through the obsidian veins of the world. It is said that when consumed, the drinker feels a sudden warmth in their fingertips, a phantom sensation of stone crumbling instantly beneath their grip. This magic lasts for ten minutes, a fleeting window where the barrier between miner and mountain dissolves entirely.
In Their Own Story
You stand before the obsidian wall, your pickaxe heavy in hand, the silence of the deep cave pressing against your ears. The ore is stubborn, resisting every swing with a dull clang that echoes through your bones. You reach into your satchel, fingers brushing the cool glass of the Mining Potion. With a deep breath, you uncork it and drink. The liquid tastes of earth and sharp roots, a sudden heat surging up your arm. Immediately, the world seems to sharpen. Your next swing is not a laborious chop but a swift, fluid stroke that shatters the obsidian into dust before you can blink. You strike again, and again, the rhythm accelerating until your pickaxe becomes a silver blur. The wall dissolves, revealing a vast chamber of glittering gems in seconds, as if the mountain itself has parted to welcome you.
Reader's Guide
The Mining Potion is a consumable buff item that grants the Mining effect for ten minutes, increasing mining speed by 25%. Crafted from Bottled Water, an Antlion Mandible, and a Blinkroot at a Placed Bottle or Alchemy Station, it serves as a cornerstone of efficient progression.
Crucially, this bonus applies strictly to pickaxes. While drills like the Drill Containment Unit ignore this speed boost, hybrid tools such as the Pickaxe Axe benefit from the increased axe speed but not hammer speed. The buff stacks additively with other sources like Mining armor, Celestial Stones, and the Ancient Chisel.
The system utilizes subtractive stacking for mining speed calculations. This means each additional bonus yields a larger relative gain than the last. A single potion ensures your pickaxe mines at least 1.33 times faster, but when combined with other buffs to reach the 70% cap, tools like the Titanium Pickaxe can mine a block every single game tick, effectively removing all mining time.
