Have you ever came across your inventory filling with useless crap, like cobble? Do you wish you could go a little faster when mining crap? Do you hate Justin Beiber?
If either the first or second question (or both) refer to you, than this is an idea for you! If the third question applies to you, go rage about it on 4chan or some other imageboard.
With this, I present 2 ways to mine a block. That's right, TWO! One is the standard "Mine" function, which will work like normal by left clicking on blocks and stuff with their respective tool. Now for the idea!
Bashing!
Bashing is simply right-clicking on a block while using that block's respective tool. What does bashing do, you ask? It makes it mine faster! HOWEVER: You will NOT get the resource from it! This is perfect for those big strip mines you make without worrying about filling too much inventory with cobble to get that diamond. Or to get rid of a ton of annoying dirt when leveling an area.
HOWEVER: Another draw-back: It uses twice the durability on the tool. Smashing stuff isn't normally the best way to keep that gold pick of yours in mint condition.
How much faster does it mine, you say? 20%! Or maybe more or less. I ain't putting this in the game, Notch/random modder guy is.
I'm always happy just 'cause there isn't a reason to be sad.
Don't take this as there is nothing that could cause sadness. I just mean it's pointless to dwell on it. I mean, depression is so boring.
I was thinking of editing the post to make it so obsidian has a different change in mining speed, since, IRL, obsidian is glass-like. I was thinking of maybe making it go MUCH faster (to 1-2 second(s)) when bashing, but keep the same 15-seconds when mining.
Sound good, or no?

EDIT: Why do all the poll answers say "mod"? Is this an idea for a mod, or the actual game?

Oh, woops! I meant idea, sorry!
Edit: Darn, I realised I just double posted. :/
