Simple Vein Miner

When a player breaks a block that belongs to a configured group, the connected blocks of the same kind are broken with it. Default groups cover logs, leaves and ores, including ores added by other mods, and a veinminer command lets server owners add or remove blocks and block tags from the list. Rather than destroying everything at once, the broken regions briefly collapse outward, and each block breaks with a sound whose pitch depends on its distance from the first block.

The tool takes durability for each block it breaks, so a tool with 59 durability remaining can break 58 blocks and then stops. Drops can be sent straight to the player as experience orbs, and the drops from every veinmined block are teleported to the player when the first block is broken. Enchantments such as Fortune, Unbreaking and Silk Touch apply to the veinmined blocks, and enchantments added by other mods work with the breaking as well. The behavior is set in the config file, which includes an option that controls which blocks can be veinmined.
