MCUtilitiesClient
by Smokejava
MCUtilitiesClient is a Fabric client companion to MCUtilities, giving players a local interface for its vein mining features and magnet claim system.
What it does
Client-side visuals for MCUtilities are provided here, so players can switch the server-side features on and off from a GUI rather than typing commands. The mod adds a HUD overlay that shows the current vein mining mode, and it previews vein shapes with custom particles before a block is broken. Visual indicators for the magnet claim system are shown as well, and the configuration menus are kept tidy.
The mod is optional and only matters to players who want more control over how those features look and feel. Servers keep running MCUtilities as before, and a player who does not install the client add-on loses only the overlay, particle previews and menus. Installation requires Fabric API, and the mod is published for Fabric alone, for Minecraft 1.21.4 and 1.21.5.
It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Vein mining mode overlay
A HUD element displays the vein mining mode currently in use, so players can read it without opening a menu.

Custom particles outline the blocks a vein mining action would affect before the player commits to it.
Local toggles and settings
Server-side features can be switched on or off through a GUI, with the settings kept on the client.
Magnet claim indicators
Visual markers show the state of the magnet claim system, making claimed areas easier to recognize.

Use cases
Players who use vein mining often
Players who rely on vein mining can check the active mode on the HUD and preview the affected blocks before mining.
Reducing command use
Toggling features in a menu means players need fewer manual veinminer commands during play.
Who it’s for: Players who run MCUtilities on a server and want a visual interface for its vein mining and claim features. Not needed by players who only join servers that do not use the mod.
