Attempt to index nil with 'Button1Down'

Hello. I am trying to make a mining game where the mining speed is based on the type of terrain that you are hitting. However, there is an error with the script I made to detect the terrain

Here’s the script:

Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function Cast()
	local ray = script.Parent.Contents.Ray
	local RayParams = RaycastParams.new()
	RayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist
	RayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {game.Workspace.Terrain}
	RayParams.IgnoreWater = true
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(ray.Position, ray.CFrame.LookVector, RayParams)
end

local function PlayCast()
	for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local mouse = player:GetMouse()
		mouse.Button1Down:Connect(Cast)
	end
end

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(PlayCast)

The error says that on line 15, somehow button1down is incorrect. Can someone help me with this error?

oh, and here’s the error:
attempt to index nil with ‘Button1Down’

this is in a serverscript.

You can’t get the player’s mouse on the server. You should use a localscript.
