I’ve noticed that mining zones are broken down into 4x4 ‘deep blocks’ and 1x4 ‘surface blocks’. Mining zones can thus be 4x4x4 in size or 5x4x4, depending on if you click on a top surface or on a wall side. When mining out cliff areas, I remove 5x4x4 chunks but often find the villagers stopping the…

The mining menu is pretty empty. I think it would be reasonable to have a 4 x 4 x 5 mining tool alongside the current one.

Well you can currently mine both 4x4x4 and 5x4x4 blocks with ease. The issue is that they can’t reach 5 blocks up, leading to scattered floating blocks that pause mining.

Are you saying they should be able to mine the block above them?

I agree with @phector2004 I had that problem as well and it gets aggravating fast.

I’ll third this. I’ve had problems getting that fifth layer mined as well.

@RepeatPan has outdone himself once again, will be interesting to see if this partially fixes or worsens these issues

A rework on the current 4x4 mining selection tool!
