Mining out gems

[Narski]

Currently with the way mining is, more than likely the miner's inventory is completely full of rocks ~99% of the time, and thus this leads to gems being dropped on the ground covered by the rock sprite.

When you first mine out that gem, size, and cut you will get a discovery notification. However, you will never know you mined that same exact gem again and its fairly easy to miss mining them.


The current meta in countering this is to always carry a gem on you and every so often in the area, drop the gem and Shift+RightClick that gem and it will autopath and pick up any gems in the area.


My proposed change is a fast visual shine or bright spark happens on the pickaxe when a gem is mined out.


Let me know thoughts, i think the current way could be improved for better gameplay and experience.

What would help is distinct drop noises for items, like in ARPG games such as Path of Exile. "tok" when a rock is dropped and "ting" when it's a gem.
Could be neat to have it make the noise when you pick it up/drop it from your mouse cursor like in those games as well.

A repeating genuinely unique noise for starvation would be appreciated.

This is the only game where it's not unheard of to starve because you didn't notice.

audio queues in general for damage you're incurring outside of combat like drowning and leech wounds.

if you are having an purse on you (in the inventory or belt) gems and coins picked up will automatically be placed inside it , besides that many custom clients , ender for example, highlight gems on the ground.

just craft an purse and slap it in you belt while mining
