Vein Mining 9minecraft Mod — Guide

Getting Started

Vein Mining is powered by an enchantment, so you apply it to a tool just like any other enchantment:

1. Get the Vein Mining enchantment from the enchanting table, from enchanted books, or through your usual enchantment sources.
2. Apply it to a pickaxe (for ores) or an axe (for logs) - whichever tool you want to vein-mine with.
3. Mine any block that is part of a vein. Every connected block of the same type breaks at once and all of the drops are yours.

An optional activation key lets you decide exactly when vein mining kicks in - for example by holding or releasing a key while you mine - so you can switch between whole-vein and single-block breaking on the fly.

Features

• Whole-vein breaking - mine one block with an enchanted tool and the entire connected vein of the same block breaks with it.
• Great for ores - clear coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond and emerald deposits in a single action.
• Works on logs and more - configurable block groups let you vein-mine logs and other connected blocks too.
• Enchantment-based - the effect is applied to your tools, so ordinary mining still works exactly as normal.
• Activation key - choose precisely when vein mining triggers instead of it firing on every swing.
• Highly configurable - set the maximum vein size, define which blocks count as a vein, and tune durability cost.
• Single-player and multiplayer - fully server-friendly.
• NeoForge and Fabric - available for both mod loaders.

Tips

• Keep the maximum vein size sensible on survival worlds so a single swing doesn't clear an entire cave and drain your tool.
• Put Vein Mining on a high-durability tool (or one with Unbreaking) if you plan to clear big ore fields.
• Add logs to your block groups to turn an enchanted axe into a fast tree-clearing tool.
• Use the activation key to switch between whole-vein and single-block mining without changing tools.
• It shines when gathering bulk resources for large building and redstone projects.
