oiken_'s Vein Miner
by oiken_
oiken_'s Vein Miner lets a player break an entire connected vein of ore or blocks with one action, holding crouch while mining.
What it does
Crouching while mining breaks the whole vein instead of a single block. The number of blocks that one action may break is set in the config file, with a default of 64. A key, V by default, switches vein mining on or off, and the key can be rebound from the keyboard settings. The mod was made by oiken_ because the vein miners already on the catalog were not to the author's liking on NeoForge.
Vein mining needs the mod on both sides, so the server and every player must run it. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker published. Files exist for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is v1.0.2, published on 2026-05-14 after a first release on 2026-05-13.

Toggle key
Pressing V turns vein mining on or off, and the key can be changed in the keyboard controls.
Server-applied rules
Limits set on the server apply to every player who joins it, so mining stays the same across a shared world.

What the author says
# oiken_'s Vein Miner I made this because I couldn't find any vein miners that I liked for NeoForge (on modrinth).
