Ore Miner
by qiu-tiandev
Ore Miner, a Fabric mod, lets a player break one ore block and have the connected veins around it mined in the same action.
What it does
A single broken ore sends the mod to search the blocks touching it and collect every connected ore of the same kind. The vein is cleared in one action rather than block by block. Enchantments on the tool carry over to the mined ores, and the mod supports them as part of the mining.
Behaviour is set through configurable options, and an OreMiner command set lets players and server administrators adjust the experience. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It needs Fabric API, and it is open source under the MIT License, with source code published. The latest Fabric file, 1.0.0, targets 1.21.9, and 12 release versions are published.
Key features
Connected vein mining
Breaking one ore mines the adjacent ores of the same kind, so an entire vein is collected at once.
Enchantment support
The mod works with enchantments on the tool, so mined ores respond to them as expected.
Configurable options
Settings control how the mining behaves, letting server owners tune the feature to their world.
Admin commands
An OreMiner command set lets players and server administrators customise how the feature works.
