`radius` and `depth` options are required!
{% endhint %}

### Simple

```yaml
# Example

Mechanics:
  bigmining:
    radius: 2         # The radius of blocks around the destroyed block to break.
    depth: 3          # The depth of blocks to break in the direction of mining.
```

### Switchable

```yaml
# Example

Mechanics:
  bigmining:
    radius: 1
    depth: 3
    switchable: true  # Will switch bigmining mode on right-click
```

### Breaking material whitelist

```yaml
# Example

Mechanics:
  bigmining:
    radius: 1
    depth: 3
    materials:       # List of whitelisted materials
    - STONE
```
