Is there a trick to farm AFK ores by weighting the left mouse button?
Because the pickaxe breaks at some point.
Is there a way that you then automatically switch to a new slot, where a "fresh pick" is?
Mh times to understand, how do you farm ores?
The Mod Inventory Tweaks has a setting that will give you a new pick as soon as the old one breaks. Assuming you have a new pickaxe from the same material in the inventory.
Otherwise no.
So just go out. And if you see ores, mine them.
Yes, but you also collect a lot of rock. This means that your inventory is already full soon enough, possibly new ore deposits land on the ground and disappear after a few minutes.
Apart from the fact that you regularly lava, water or caves aufhackst what AFK can go out pretty bad.
