Veinminer
Veinminer lets a player break an entire connected vein of ore or a whole tree by breaking a single block, and it is configured on the server.
What it does
Breaking one block of a matching ore or tree trunk removes the connected blocks of the same kind in one action. The mod is a simple take on the idea: the player chooses what to break instead of being limited to a fixed number of blocks, which some other veinminer mods impose. Enchantments are respected, so a fortune pickaxe applies its bonus to every block broken, and the experience gained is the same as breaking them one at a time.
The server holds the final say over gameplay settings. Server owners set the maximum number of blocks, the effects on time and hunger drain, and the range searched for connected blocks. Clients and servers can both use the configuration screen, but the server's values decide what happens in play, so players can join a server running the mod without having to worry about client-side configuration overriding it.
The mod works in single player as well, where the settings can be tuned to match what the player wants. Configuration is available through the mod menu. Veinminer is server-side only, so players joining a server need nothing installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.

What the author says
This mod was created as I couldn't find a version of Veinminer that would work for my Survival Modded World, due to this I created this. This is basically a veinminer that allows you to break any block instead of the restrictive amount of blocks some other veinminers let you do such as trees or ores. Clients and…
