TerrariaCraft VeinMiner
Holding a key while mining a whitelisted ore breaks the whole connected vein in TerrariaCraft VeinMiner, a Forge addon for TerrariaCraft on 1.12.2.
What it does
The addon enables vein mining for the TerrariaCraft mod. A player holds a key while breaking a whitelisted ore, and the connected ore of that vein is excavated in one action. The default key is the grave accent button, and it can be rebound. Apart from that single mechanic the mod adds little else.
TerrariaCraft VeinMiner requires TerrariaCraft to run, and its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge is the only loader it is published for, and the only game version is 1.12.2. Builds are released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source, although public links to the source and issue tracker exist.
Key features
Whole-vein excavation
Holding the mining key while breaking an ore removes the entire connected vein in one action.
Whitelisted ores
Only ores on the mod's whitelist trigger vein mining, so other blocks break normally.
Rebindable default key
The grave accent button starts vein mining by default, and the key can be changed in the controls menu.
Addon for TerrariaCraft
It extends the TerrariaCraft content with vein mining and is not a standalone tool for vanilla ores.
