Supernova is a blast pickaxe enchant that ignites a star above your mine. Its shockwave sweeps outwards and consumes the entire mine.
Effect#
- Each time you mine a block, Supernova rolls a chance of 0.002% per level, up to 0.2% at level 100.
- When it triggers, a star ignites 8 blocks above the top of the mine, over its centre. After the ignition animation a shockwave expands from the star, breaking the blocks of the mine in order of distance from it. The wave covers 2 blocks of distance every tick, which is 40 blocks per second, and breaks at most 2,000 blocks per tick; in very dense areas it slows down instead of skipping blocks.
- The whole mine is consumed. The wave ends once it has covered the mine or after 45 seconds, whichever comes first.
- While the wave runs, your mine's automatic refill is paused so the mine does not reset in the middle of the sweep. It refills afterwards.
- A few of the blocks are flung into the air as debris; the rest simply vanish.
- Blocks broken this way pay out like blocks you mine yourself: tokens go to your balance and drops go to your backpack, and Fortune and Token Finder apply to them. Blocks broken by an enchant never roll for other enchants, so enchants do not chain.
- You can only have one Supernova running at a time.
- It does not trigger in prestige mines.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per block mined |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.002% (1 in 50,000) |
| 5 | 0.01% (1 in 10,000) |
| 10 | 0.02% (1 in 5,000) |
| 25 | 0.05% (1 in 2,000) |
| 50 | 0.1% (1 in 1,000) |
| 75 | 0.15% (1 in 667) |
| 100 | 0.2% (1 in 500) |
The shockwave is the same at every level. The level only changes how often it triggers. Each rebirth raises the maximum level by 10.
A chat message ("Your Supernova enchant activated!") confirms each trigger unless you have switched enchant activation messages off in your options. The message appears as soon as it triggers.
Cost and unlocking#
It unlocks at Prestige 7 and shows as Mythic in the enchant menu. Level 1 costs 1,500,000 tokens, and each further level costs more, following the formula on Pickaxe Enchant Costs. Your purchase cap is level 78 at Prestige 7 and reaches the full 100 levels at Prestige 10 (Pickaxe Enchant Caps). The maximum level rises by 10 with every rebirth.
Notes#
- Supernova costs 1,500,000 tokens for level 1 and unlocks at Prestige 7, the same prestige as Jackhammer.
- Nuke breaks the whole mine instantly; Supernova does the same as a sweeping wave.
