Instant mining, or insta-mining, is a game mechanic in which 1 block can be broken per game tick without the delay of 3⁄10 of a second (6 ticks). Blocks that break instantly without using tools do not decrease durability if a tool is used. Below are listed the tool tier and the Efficiency and Haste levels necessary to instant-mine a block.
Using commands, much higher levels of efficiency and haste may be applied to enable instant-breaking of the following blocks.
These blocks don't have an assigned tool. However, with commands, they can be instantly broken with the right level of haste. Note that the maximum level of haste is 255.
| Level of Haste | Blocks instantly mined | Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| unbreakable | All of these blocks have a hardness of -1, and -1×30 = -30. Since breaking starts at 1, these blocks can never be broken. | |
| Haste CVII (107) |

| Haste X | 3 = 1×(1 + 2) which is equal to 3 = 0.1×30 | |
| Haste XXV (25) | 6 = 1×(1 + 5) which is equal to 6 = 0.2×30 | |
| Haste XXXIII (33) | 7.6 = 1×(1 + 6.6) which is greater than 7.5 = 0.25×30 | |
| Haste XL (40) | 9 = 1×(1 + 8) which is equal to 9 = 0.3×30 | |
| Haste LV (55) | 12 = 1×(1 + 11) which is equal to 12 = 0.4×30 | |
| Haste LXX (70) | 15 = 1×(1 + 14) which is equal to 15 = 0.5×30 | |
| Haste LXXXV (85) | 18 = 1×(1 + 17) which is equal to 18 = 0.6×30 | |
| Haste CXLV (145) | 30 = 1×(1 + 29) which is equal to 30 = 1×30 | |
| Haste CDXLV (445) | 90 = 1×(1 + 89) which is equal to 90 = 3×30 | |
| Haste DXCV (595) |
|
300 = 1×(1 + 299) which is equal to 300 = 10×30 |
| Haste V̄MMMCCXLV (8245) | 1650 = 1×(1 + 1649) which is equal to 1650 = 55×30 |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3.1 | 12w18a | The 6-tick (3⁄10 second) delay between block breaking is now removed if a block takes 1 tick or less to break in Survival. The player can now instantly mine a large amount of blocks in Survival simply by holding destroy if conditions are met. | |||||
| Before this version, blocks that can be instantly mined do break instantly, but the 6-tick delay between block breaking still exists. | |||||||
| 12w24a | While holding a block-breaking tool, breaking a block that can be instantly mined by hand no longer reduces the tool's durability. | ||||||
| 1.4.2 | 12w32a | With the addition of beacons, the haste status effect can be legitimately accessed in survival, which enables the instant mining of stone using a diamond pickaxe enchanted with Efficiency V, making the acquisition of resources and clearing out a large area/volume much easier. | |||||
