Veinminer Enchantment
by lullaby
Veinminer Enchantment gives pickaxes an enchantment that mines connected ores of the same type in one action, and the author presents it as a data pack alternative to the Veinminer data pack.
What it does
When a pickaxe carrying the enchantment breaks an ore, matching connected ores in the vein are mined together. The enchanted pickaxe takes durability for each extra block it mines, and a block mined this way gives experience like any other block. Only vanilla pickaxes and vanilla ores are affected, and the enchantment can be obtained from enchantment tables, loot chests and trading with villagers.
The mod is built for servers. Server owners get a configurable despawn timer for the mined drops, and the enchantment works alongside Smelting Magnetic Enchantments and Fortune Silk Touch. The server must run the mod, while players may add it for the enchantment's visuals or tooltips; the server side is the required one. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code is public. Files target 1.21 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the Data Pack form also available.
Key features
Connected ore veins
Breaking one ore mines the matching connected ores, so a whole vein is collected in a single action.
Durability cost per block
Each extra block mined by the enchantment damages the pickaxe, which limits how much a single swing can take.
Experience from every block
Blocks mined by the enchantment give experience, the same as blocks mined by hand.
Configurable despawn timer
Server owners can set how long mined drops remain on the ground before they despawn.
Enchantment sources
The enchantment appears in enchantment tables, loot chests and villager trades.

How it compares
Veinminer Enchantment is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for four loaders. Cool Veinminer also uses that license and covers 1.21.6 – 26.1.2, so the two share an environment and license but differ in version range. Wide Mining is published under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. Lessburning Enchantment is an MIT-licensed enchantment for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 that is not open source.
