Drills and harvesters
More actions
Drills and harvesters are custom 3x3 AOE tools on Prosperity SMP. Drills break a 9-block area of stone and ore for Miners; harvesters break a 9-crop area with auto-replant for Farmers. They are the primary upgrade path for both careers.
Drills
Drills are AOE pickaxes purchased with /buydrill. They require a minimum Miner level to purchase.
| Tier | Name | Level | Price | Base material | Efficiency | Unbreaking | Fortune | Effective blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Compact Drill | 15 | $1,000 | Iron pickaxe | III | IV | — | ~11,250 |
| 2 | Industrial Drill | 30 | $4,000 | Diamond pickaxe | IV | III | I | ~56,000 |
| 3 | Apex Drill | 45 | $6,500 | Netherite pickaxe | V | IV | II | ~91,000 |
How drills work
- Each swing breaks the center block normally plus 8 surrounding blocks.
- Only the center block consumes durability. The surrounding blocks are free.
- Jobs wages are paid only for the center block. Drill value comes from 9x material yield, not wage multiplication.
- Fortune enchants apply to all 9 blocks.
- Drills only activate in the resource world, nether, and end. They are disabled in the main world to prevent plot damage.
Repairing
Drills are repairable via standard anvil using the matching ingot (iron for Compact, diamond for Industrial, netherite for Apex). Master Smith books can also be applied to drills through the anvil.
Harvesters
Harvesters are AOE hoes purchased with /buyharvester. They require a minimum Farmer level.
| Tier | Name | Level | Price | Base material | Efficiency | Unbreaking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Compact Harvester | 15 | $1,000 | Iron hoe | III | III |
| 2 | Industrial Harvester | 30 | $2,500 | Diamond hoe | IV | III |
| 3 | Apex Harvester | 45 | $5,000 | Netherite hoe | V | III |
How harvesters work
- Each swing harvests the center crop plus 8 surrounding crops.
- Harvested crops are auto-replanted.
- Only fully-grown crops trigger the harvester. Breaking unripe crops does not pay wages.
- Harvesters work anywhere the player has block-break permissions.
Prestige tools
At prestige P1, each career receives a prestige-tier version of their AOE tool:
| Job | Tool | Enchants |
|---|---|---|
| Miner | Reborn Drill (P1) through Eternal Drill (P5) | Efficiency V, Fortune III, Unbreaking V |
| Farmer | Reborn Harvester (P1) through Eternal Harvester (P5) | Efficiency V, Unbreaking V |
Prestige tools are soulbound (never drop on death) and use a netherite base. The tool name and color escalate per prestige tier but the base enchants are the same. Further upgrades come from Master Smith books.
Value comparison
| Drill | Cost | Effective blocks | Cost per block |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | $1,000 | ~11,250 | $0.089 |
| Industrial | $4,000 | ~56,000 | $0.071 |
| Apex | $6,500 | ~91,000 | $0.071 |
| Prestige (any tier) | free | ~110,000 | — |
Industrial and Apex have identical cost-per-block, but Apex additionally has Fortune II and higher Efficiency, making it significantly better for ore mining.
