Frequently asked questions

How do I mine a whole ore cluster at once?
Crouch (hold sneak) and break one ore block in the cluster with your pickaxe. The entire connected cluster will break at once and all drops will appear at the block you mined.
Why isn't crouching breaking the whole cluster?
Make sure you're actually holding the sneak key while you break the block, and that the other ores are connected to the one you're mining. Ores separated by stone, dirt, or other non-ore blocks won't chain.
Do I have to crouch to use this mod?
Yes, crouching is what activates the chain-mining behavior. If you mine an ore normally without sneaking, only that single block breaks.
Which ores work with Ore Harvester?
Any ore that generates in clusters, including coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, lapis, emerald, copper, and modded ores that use similar cluster generation. The mod chains blocks of the same ore type together.
