VeinMiner Companion Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn VeinMiner on and off?
Open your controls settings and bind a key to toggle VeinMiner. Once set, press that key during gameplay to enable or disable the feature—you'll see an indicator appear near your cursor when it's active.
What does the wireframe outline do?
The wireframe shows you exactly which blocks will be mined when you break one block with VeinMiner active. This helps you avoid accidentally mining more than you intended.
Can I change which blocks VeinMiner works on?
No, the server controls which blocks and tools support VeinMiner—your client mod cannot override those rules. If a block isn't vein minable, the server has disabled it.
How do I switch between different vein mining patterns?
Bind a key in your controls settings to cycle through patterns. Press that key to switch between the vein mining modes your server provides.
VeinMiner isn't working even though I toggled it on. What's wrong?
Check that you're using a tool the server allows for vein mining, and that you're mining a supported block type. If both are correct, the server may have VeinMiner disabled or your mod may not be compatible with that server.
Will this mod work on any server?
This mod only works on servers running the VeinMiner plugin (like CraftBukkit or Spigot). Some servers may not allow client-side mods at all—you'll be notified if it's unsupported.
Does the mod slow down my game?
VeinMiner Companion is a lightweight client-side mod designed to have minimal performance impact. If you experience lag, try disabling the wireframe outline feature.
Can I use this mod in single-player or offline mode?
No, this mod requires a server running the VeinMiner plugin to function. It won't work in single-player worlds or on servers without the plugin installed.
What if my server doesn't show the indicator or wireframe?
Make sure the mod is installed correctly and that you've toggled VeinMiner on. If it's still not showing, your server may have those visual features disabled in its configuration.
Can I customize the appearance of the indicator and wireframe?
Check your mod's configuration file for display options—many settings can be adjusted there. If customization options aren't available, contact your server administrator about enabling them.
