Neon's veinminer
by neondata
Neon's Veinminer is a Fabric game mechanics mod that lets a single block break an entire connected vein of ore.
What it does
Pressing V toggles the veinminer function, which is off by default. While it is active, the ores under the crosshair are highlighted before they are mined, so players can see which blocks will break. A custom enchantment can auto-smelt the drops of veined ores into refined items. Client and server both need the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.

Ore highlighting

Auto-smelt enchantment
A custom enchantment auto-smelts the drops of veined ores, so they come out already refined.
