VeinMine Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on vein mining?
Press your VeinMine keybind (default is usually a specific key you can customize in controls) while mining to activate it for that block. When active, breaking one block will mine all connected blocks of the same type instead of just one.
Can I change the keybind for vein mining?
Yes, open your controls settings and search for the VeinMine keybind option to reassign it to any key you prefer. The new keybind will take effect immediately.
Why isn't vein mining working on certain blocks?
Those blocks may be blacklisted in the mod's configuration file, or they might not be in the supported blocks list. Check your config file to see which blocks are enabled for vein mining.
How far away can vein mining reach?
The mining range is configurable in the mod settings; by default it mines all connected blocks of the same type touching each other, but you can adjust the maximum distance in the configuration file.
Does vein mining work on logs and wood?
Yes, logs and wood blocks are typically supported by default, so you can vein mine entire trees or log clusters when the feature is activated.
Will vein mining break my tools faster?
Yes, mining multiple blocks at once will consume more tool durability than mining a single block, so bring extra tools or repair materials for large veins.
Can I blacklist specific blocks from vein mining?
Yes, you can add block names to the blacklist in the mod's configuration file to prevent them from being vein-mined even if they're normally supported.
Does this mod work with other mining mods?
VeinMine is generally compatible with most other mods, but conflicts can occur if multiple mods try to override the same mining behavior; check mod compatibility lists or test in your instance.
Can I vein mine blocks that aren't touching?
No, vein mining only works on blocks that are directly connected to each other; separated blocks won't be mined together even if they're the same type.
Does vein mining affect my FPS or cause lag?
Mining large veins at once can cause brief lag spikes depending on your system, but the mod is generally lightweight; if you experience issues, try reducing the mining range in the config.
