ModCompatibleVeinminer
by radtheman225
ModCompatibleVeinminer is a Fabric game mechanics mod that lets one pickaxe swing break a connected vein of the same ore type, and it is built to work with modded ores.
What it does
Swinging a pickaxe at an ore block breaks the touching ore blocks that share its type, all in one swing, so a whole vein comes out together. Vein mining applies to vanilla ores and to ores added by other mods, and the author describes the mod as mostly compatible with other vein miner mods rather than a fully tested replacement. Special blocks such as ancient debris are handled as their own ore category, so they follow special rules instead of the standard pickaxe behavior.
Only the server has to run the mod for vein mining to take effect, and players may add it to their client as well. Files are published for Fabric only. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.10, released on 2025-10-14, and snapshot builds are published too. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Vein mining
One swing of a pickaxe breaks every connected ore block of the same type, so a whole vein comes out at once.
Special ore blocks
Blocks such as ancient debris are treated as special ore blocks and mined under their own rules.
Enchantments and durability
Fortune and Silk Touch apply to every block broken in a vein, and tool durability is spent as it normally is.
Modded ore support
Ores added by other mods can be vein mined, alongside the vanilla ore blocks.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and players who want to collect ore veins quickly. Because only the server needs it to function, a server owner can add it without asking each player to install anything.
How it compares
OreFeller is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that runs on the client and the server together, released under the MIT License and not open source. Neon's veinminer covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, works with both client and server, and is released under the MIT License without being open source. Super Simple Server Side Veinminer is needed on the server, with the client optional, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. ModCompatibleVeinminer works on either side, and neither needs it, but covers a different range and is not open source.
