Veinminer Plugin FAQ

Just break an ore block with the correct tool for that block type, and the plugin automatically breaks the connected ores of the same type. You do not need to press any extra key or run a command to activate it.

No, you need to use the right tool for the block, such as a pickaxe for ores. If the tool is wrong or too weak, the vein will not chain.

Run /veinminer toggle to switch veinmining on or off for your own player. This only affects you and does not change the server-wide settings.

Use /veinminer blocks to open the block editor and add or remove blocks from the veinmineable list. Changes apply to the blocks you and other players can chain.

Run /veinminer settings to adjust options like cooldown and max chain. The max chain limits how many blocks can break in one vein, and the cooldown controls how often you can veinmine again.

The most common causes are using the wrong tool, having the block type disabled, or hitting the max chain limit. Check your tool, run /veinminer blocks to confirm the block is enabled, and raise the max chain in /veinminer settings if needed.

Only if those blocks have been added to the veinmineable list. By default it is built around ores, but you can add logs or other blocks with /veinminer blocks.

Yes, it is commonly used on multiplayer servers, and each player can toggle it for themselves with /veinminer toggle. Server settings like the block list and max chain are shared, so check with the server owner if something is disabled.

It only breaks blocks that are already connected and valid, so it does not create new blocks or damage the world. Very large veins can cause a brief spike, which is why the max chain setting exists to keep things smooth.

Yes, every block broken by the chain drops its normal items, just as if you had mined each one yourself. Make sure you have inventory space, since a big vein can fill it quickly.

Mine one block of an ore vein with the proper tool and the plugin chains through all touching ores of the same type. Use /veinminer toggle to turn it on or off and /veinminer settings to adjust how it behaves.

The most common causes are Veinminer being toggled off, using the wrong tool for that ore, or the block not being on the veinmineable list. Check /veinminer toggle first, then review your blocks list with /veinminer blocks.

Max chain is the limit on how many blocks a single veinmine can break at once. If a vein is larger than your max chain, only that many blocks break, so raise the value in /veinminer settings if you want bigger veins to go in one swing.

Open /veinminer settings and adjust the cooldown option there. The cooldown is the wait time between veinmines, so lowering it lets you chain veins faster and raising it slows you down.

Yes, use /veinminer blocks to edit which blocks are veinmineable. Add the block you want to chain, and it will be treated like ores the next time you mine it with the right tool.

It can, as long as the ore is registered as veinmineable in the blocks list. If a modded ore doesn't chain, add it through /veinminer blocks.

Veinminer is generally lightweight, but very large veins combined with a high max chain can cause brief lag spikes. Lowering max chain in /veinminer settings is the usual fix if you notice stuttering.

It usually coexists fine with protection and economy plugins, but region or claim plugins may block veinmining inside protected areas. If a vein won't chain in a specific spot, check whether that area is protected.
