Description
Meticulous
Helps you avoid breaking blocks accidentally.
Works client-side and in single player.
Meticulous adds configurable minimum times to break your first and second blocks, along with a few other options.
"First/second block" means the first/second block you break while you hold down left click continuously.
Key binds can always be configured through Minecraft's controls settings.
Supports Cloth Config and Mod Menu for configuration, but neither is required.
Options will use their default values if Cloth Config is absent.
If Cloth Config is present, options can be configured either through Mod Menu or by editing config/meticulous.json in your instance folder (.minecraft/ by default for the vanilla launcher).

This mod is only for Fabric (works on Quilt, too!) and I won't be porting it to Forge. The license is MIT, however, so anyone else is free to port it.
I'd appreciate links back to this page if you port or otherwise modify this project, but links aren't required.
