FastOre
by tgsko
FastOre removes an entire connected ore vein in one break, for Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
Breaking one ore block removes the whole connected vein of matching ore, and each block still costs durability on the pickaxe, so a large vein uses up a noticeable share of the tool. Drops, experience, Fortune and Silk Touch behave as they would for each block in vanilla, and modded ores are detected as well. The O key opens a menu where each player can switch ore types on or off.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Many servers treat vein mining as cheating, so it is worth checking the server rules before using it there. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across five release versions, 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Vein mining
One break removes every connected block of the same ore, following the vein through the stone.
Durability cost
Each mined block still wears the pickaxe, so a wide vein can take a noticeable share of its durability.
Vanilla drops
Drops, experience, Fortune and Silk Touch apply to each block as they do in vanilla, and modded ores are detected.

What the author says
Vein mining for every ore. Break one block and the whole vein follows, connected ore by connected ore. Every block still costs a point of pickaxe durability, so a big vein costs a big chunk of your tool - no free diamonds. Drops, experience, Fortune and Silk Touch all behave exactly like vanilla, modded ores are…
