Simple Vein Mining
by ljah
Simple Vein Mining lets a player break an entire ore vein with one swing of a pickaxe while sneaking, on a Fabric server.
What it does
When a player breaks an ore block with a pickaxe while sneaking, the surrounding blocks of the same ore break too, so a whole vein comes out in one action. The size of the vein is set by the server config. Durability is used for every block broken, and silk touch, fortune and experience drops work as they normally do. Simple Vein Mining is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is released under the MIT License. Files target 26.1.2 alone and are built for Fabric.
Key features
One-swing vein mining
Breaking an ore block while sneaking removes the connected ore of the same type in a single action.
Configurable vein size
The maximum number of ore blocks per vein can be set by the server owner.
Durability cost
Each extra block removed uses pickaxe durability, so large veins wear the tool down.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

What the author says
Basically whenever you break an ore block with a pickaxe while NOT sneaking, surrounding blocks of the same ore will break too. (Uses durability) Supports every ore in the game and every vein size. Works with silk touch, every level of fortune and experience drops as expected!
