So in light of this post [here] about Dream breaking glass, I kinda got inspired to see how long it actually takes to break compared to obsidian.

Turns out that according to the Minecraft Wiki, it takes 250 seconds to break obsidian with just a fist, and Mining Fatigue III increases the breaking time by 370. So to break the obsidian in the cell it would take 250 x 370 = 92,500 seconds or about 1541 minutes or about 25 hours 41 minutes and 40 seconds. As for tinted glass, it takes 0.45 seconds to break (regardless of the tool without enchantments) which means with Mining Fatigue III it takes .45 x 370 = 166.5 seconds or 2 min and 6.5 seconds to break. That doesn’t seem like a lot in compared to obsidian but for reference, breaking obsidian with just a diamond pickaxe normally takes 9.4 seconds and ancient debris with a fist takes 150 seconds. So 2 min seems short but would feel like forever if you were actually playing Minecraft.

Another interesting thing to note is that mining blocks alone without moving doesn’t really decrease your hunger apparently so contrary to what I sometimes thought about, Dream would not starve while breaking. And if Sam really did deprive him of food for long periods of time, technically if he just didn’t move much he would be fine, however given how uncomfortable Sam was in Daedalus when he was hungry I imagine that while Dream could (and did) survive it wouldn’t be like he wasn’t still experiencing the unpleasant and adverse affects of starvation… so technically speaking in the realms of Minecraft for all the fanfics I’ve read where he gets to a point of not moving and starving to death, that actually wouldn’t happen for as long as he didn’t move around he wouldn’t starve.
