When you shoot a laser it has a Certain amount of Power which it can move from.
The longer it flies the less power it has in it and the less damage the laser can actually do.
The Maximum Damage is the best case scenario where the Laser hit extremely shortly after you shot it.
For Block Breaking, it can increase/decrease the max travel distance, as to destroy blocks it has to use Power, which is limited.

To make your mining Laser even better, an EnergyProvider in the Baubles slot or in the Armor slot should be equipped to expand the maximum power storage.
