Veinminer

⛏️ Veinminer

Mine a single ore to break the full vein of the same ore! Veinminer is a common feature in various modpacks or survival pvp game modes like UHC to speed up breaking whole veins. Now you can use this feature as a datapack too!

Use as Enchantment?

Add the Veinminer Enchantment Addon to limit veinmining to only enchanted tools!

From 2.0.0 -> Add/remove blocks & more settings
From 1.2.1 -> Supports Silk Touch & Fortune

Block Groups - Advanced Settings

Block groups can hold multiple blocks together that will be treated like the same block.
/veinminer group create <name> [<block1>] [<block2>]

All blocks inside one group will be mined together. A block can be in multiple groups. New blocks can be added or removed from groups with the following commands:
/veinminer group edit <name> add-block <block>
/veinminer group edit <name> remove-block <block>

Groups can be limited to certain tools, for example group wood can only be mined by axes. If no tool is added to a group, all tools are allowed. If a block is in multiple groups, all tools from those groups are allowed.
(If a block is in one unlimited tool group and one limited to axes, only axes work for this block)
/veinminer group edit <name> add-tool <item>
/veinminer group edit <name> remove-tool <item>

OP players will have all permissions. To manually grant permissions see Luckperms. For Folia support you need to set delay to 0!

Some Advice

• To veinmine, your pickaxe must be able to mine the ore in normal conditions (unless disabled in V2)
• While Veinminer is running very lightweight, mining unnatural big veins can lag the client and the server through the amount of items
