Veinst Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start vein mining after installing the mod?
Vein mining is typically enabled by default when you break an ore block. If nothing happens, check your config file to ensure vein mining is toggled on, and verify that your current tool is whitelisted for vein mining in the mod settings.
Can I use vein mining with any tool or only pickaxes?
By default, vein mining works with pickaxes, but you can configure which tools trigger vein mining through the mod's config file. Many players add axes, shovels, or custom tools depending on their playstyle.
What's the difference between vein mining and regular mining?
Regular mining breaks one block at a time; vein mining breaks all connected blocks of the same type within your configured radius with a single block break. This only happens when vein mining is active on your tool.
How do I change the vein mining radius?
Open the mod's configuration file and locate the radius setting, then adjust it to your preferred value. A larger radius will mine more blocks at once, while a smaller radius gives you more control.
Does vein mining work on stone and other non-ore blocks?
This depends on your config settings. By default, vein mining often targets ores, but you can configure it to work on stone, deepslate, or other block types if desired.
Why isn't vein mining working on my modded ores?
Modded ores may need to be manually added to the vein mining whitelist in your config file. Check if the mod provides a list of compatible ore types or if you need to add the ore's registry name yourself.
Can I disable vein mining for a single ore type?
Yes, most configs allow you to blacklist specific ores or blocks so they won't trigger vein mining even when you break them with a whitelisted tool.
Does vein mining affect server performance or TPS?
Mining large veins at once can cause brief lag spikes depending on your server hardware and vein size. If performance is an issue, try reducing the vein mining radius or limiting it to specific tools.
How do I mine ore without triggering vein mining if I want just one block?
Most mods include a keybind or modifier key (like sneaking) that lets you bypass vein mining and break blocks normally. Check your controls settings or config file to find or customize this option.
Is Veinst Mod compatible with other mining mods?
Compatibility depends on how other mods handle block breaking. Test with your specific mod combination, and if conflicts occur, check if either mod has compatibility settings or consider adjusting the vein mining radius to reduce overlap.
