Describe the bug
With "isMiningWithWeaponsEnabled": false, in the client configuration, axes can no longer be used to break blocks, as they are treated like a weapon.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
N/A

Expected behavior
When this option is set to false, perhaps items marked as tools should still behave as if it's enabled?

Additional context
#163 seems related but it's mentioned there that it definitely works, so I'm assuming this is a different issue.

Works as intended.

That is quite strange, since the feature is completely unusable due to this issue - being able to break blocks is a fundamental part of the game.

This is a soft implementation of Battle mode, even a hotkey can be assigned to it.
Nothing to change in this regard.

This is a source of major frustration for me. I have to choose between not being able to use axes, or accidentally mining blocks instead of starting a swing.

I hear that a hotkey can be assigned to it, but I'm unsure how to do that. Are there any workarounds that I could add to my config? Perhaps an extra config option can be added that allows axes to be excluded from the weapon category.

Arguably axes (along with other tools) should not have a special attacking animation, as it just makes using them as tools far too inconvenient.

As such, I would suggest that anyone looking back at this issue (which is probably a lot of people) simply add axe to the regex blacklist in config.

There are multiple solutions:

1. Disable Better Combat attacks for axes, by removing them from fallback compatibility
2. Toggling Mine with Weapons
