ExoVeinmine
by Exosomnia
ExoVeinmine adds a rechargeable vein mining system to Forge, where breaking blocks fills a charge meter that a player spends to break connected ore veins in one action.
What it does
Vein mining is triggered by holding the activation key while breaking a block, and every block broken in the vein adds to a charge meter that gradually refills and is drained when vein mining is used. The maximum charge, charge rate and charge usage are set in the config file, and the charge system can be disabled entirely. A new bar in the interface shows the current charge and is normally visible only while the activation key is held, with visibility settings available in the config.
Access to vein mining can be granted in several ways. It can be obtained through an enchantment or through commands, and an enhanced version is available on a tool carrying the Vein Mining enchantment at level 2. Access can also be given by adding the exoveinmine-enhanced tag to a player, and a player needs both tags to use enhanced vein mining. A brewed potion increases the charge rate and lowers charge usage, and potion brewing can be turned off in the config. The mod requires ExoLib to be installed, and it runs on client and server; it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, for Forge 1.20.1 only.
