What are the consequences of breaking a block? Do you see a cube falling? Do you see the block you are breaking fall apart? Of course not. The consequences are not visible. The only way to know for sure is to try it yourself.

You can do this with the new No Crafting Station Restrictions mod. This mod removes the need to have crafting stations nearby for repairing, building, and destroying structures and furniture. It applies to any crafting station - workbenches, forges, stonecutters, etc.

This means that you can break blocks anywhere in the world and the consequences will not be visible. You can even break a block of a different color than the surrounding blocks!

Just to clarify, this mod does not rely on or modify anything to do with crafting station ranges like other mods might have.
