Miketavious's Auto Miner
by Miketavious
Miketavious's Auto Miner keeps mining blocks on the client while a player holds the mouse button, switching behavior by tool type.
What it does
The mod is a client-side auto miner for Fabric. Three modes set which tool the miner works with: Pickaxe Mode mines only while a pickaxe is held, Axe Mode only with an axe, and Shovel Mode only with a shovel. Tools Mode covers all three, and the miner can also work with empty hands.
Mining stops on its own once the held tool drops to a set share of its durability, which the player can configure from 1 to 100 percent remaining. That protects tools from being broken by accident during long sessions. Messages can be switched off, or shown in the action bar. The settings open from a config screen reached through Mod Menu.
Installation needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Only the client needs the mod, so servers do not have to install it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for 1.21.5, 1.21.6 and 1.21.7, with 1.0.3 for 1.21.7 as the latest, released on 2025-07-01.
Key features
Tool-specific modes
Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel and combined Tools modes each limit mining to the matching held item.
Durability threshold
Mining halts when durability falls below a value the player sets between 1 and 100 percent.
Mining with empty hands
The miner also works without a tool, for resource gathering that does not need a specific item.
Chat or action bar notices
Notifications about mining state can be turned off or shown in the action bar instead of chat.
Config screen
Options are edited in a screen opened through Mod Menu, with no file editing needed.

Use cases
Long gathering sessions
Players who collect large amounts of a resource can let the miner keep clicking, reducing hand strain.
Who it’s for: Players who gather resources for long periods on their own client and want to keep their tools from breaking. The mod does nothing on a server unless the player's own client runs it.
