Frequently asked questions

How do I start using vein miner?
Hold a tool (pickaxe for ore, axe for logs), press and hold Shift to crouch, then break any block in a vein or tree. The entire connected cluster will break at once.
Why isn't vein miner working when I break blocks?
Make sure you're holding Shift to crouch before breaking the block—vein mining only triggers while sneaking. If it's still not working, check that the system isn't disabled with `/scoreboard players set system_disabled uvm.config 1`.
Does vein miner work on servers?
Yes, it works on vanilla servers without requiring any client-side mods because it uses only vanilla game mechanics and data packs.
Will vein miner break my tools faster?
Tools take normal durability damage as if you had mined each block individually, so durability consumption is the same as regular mining.
