Universal Vein Miner
by longz3r
Universal Vein Miner is a Fabric mining mod that breaks connected ore and log blocks in one action, and it also runs on several server platforms.
What it does
When a player breaks one block of a connected vein, the mod can break the rest of the same kind in quick succession. It works on ores and logs, and the same behavior can be set up for other block groups through its configuration. Breaking happens faster than walking through the vein by hand, and the mod can be set to cover custom tool categories and block lists.
The mod supports cubic regions, tunnels and staircase patterns in addition to plain veins, so players can pick the shape that suits their mining. Economy support is optional. A developer API lets other mods define their own mining patterns and behaviors. The mod uses a custom payload packet to talk with the Minecraft client, and a companion client mod can listen on its channels. Fabric is the loader, and the same server builds also run on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia.
