Mining
Mining is a skill focused around mining stone and ore. A notable perk of this skill is the higher potential yield from each ore, increased even further when using an active skill. Mining also adds new functionality to TNT, by allowing remote detonation. It provides bonuses to the amount of materials dropped while mining. Mining is a parent skill of Smelting.
