(RELEASED) Vein Miner Revival

by LukieD4

Vein Miner Revival brings classic vein mining back to modern Forge, so breaking one configured ore or log can clear the whole connected vein in a single action.

What it does

Breaking one block from a connected vein removes the rest of that vein, up to the limit the server allows. The mining algorithm is lightweight and can be configured directly in the game. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and source code is public. Files target Forge for 1.18 – 1.18.2, with 2.0.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest build, first published on 2025-09-10 and last updated on 2026-06-22.

Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it. Server owners set block caps, break delay, hunger penalties and tool requirements, and the server validates every value independently of what a client sends. Players keep personal preferences that sync automatically when they join or when a save changes. The mod works alongside external mods that add ores, and it is compatible with them.

Key features

  1. Connected vein mining

    One block of a configured type breaks the whole connected vein within the server's limits.

  2. Tool-swap protection

    Switching to a different item type during a vein stops the job safely rather than continuing with the wrong tool.

  3. Hunger safety

    A soft stop at low hunger and a hard stop at zero hunger can be set, with the hard stop enforced regardless of other settings.

  4. Server-authoritative settings

    Server-wide values change only when a host or operator with permission level 2 or higher edits them, and clients see them without overriding.

  5. In-game configuration

    The config screen opens with Right Shift by default, where players tune their own preferences.

Questions

Does Vein Miner Revival need Forge?

Yes. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2.

Does the server need the mod?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so the server can run without it and players can still use it on their own client.

Can a server limit what players change?

Yes. The server validates block caps, break delay, hunger penalties and tool requirements, and a client cannot exceed those limits.

Vein Miner Revival brings the classic vein mining back to modern Forge, rebuilt from the ground up with a strict client/server authority model - hosts and server admins stay fully in control, while every player keeps their own personal preferences. Break one ore, log, or configured block, and the whole connected vein…
