[0.17.2] Re-add the pickaxe slot, but purely for showing your mining speed.

Right now there's no way to check what your current mining speed is, without directly measuring the time it takes to mine basic ores (1/s at base, 2/s with steel).

The pickaxe slot could be re-added with the relevant 0.16 tool shown as in that slot, and mousing over it could show your mining speed (1/s or 2/s).

I like this idea. That spot looks too bare for players of previous versions.

but you are right, 100% of ? is still a ?

Yeah... Mining time = 50% isn't that informative. 50% of what?
