Vein Miner
Vein Miner breaks an entire connected ore vein when a player breaks one block of it, so players can clear a cluster in a single action.
What it does
The mod detects blocks of the same type that touch the one being broken and removes them together. Players mining large ore clusters skip the repeated work of breaking each block by hand, which speeds up mining trips in survival play. The behavior is active by default and works on its own, and players who want precise control can leave some blocks behind.
Vein Miner runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric alone, with files for 26.1 – 26.2 and 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest build. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public issues are tracked through an issue tracker.
Key features
Whole vein breaking
Breaking one ore block removes every connected block of the same type in a single action.
Automatic by default
The effect starts without any setup, so mining works the same way from the first break.
Leave blocks behind
Players can avoid the vein effect when they want to keep particular blocks in place.
Faster resource gathering
Large ore clusters are cleared quickly, which shortens the time spent on repetitive mining.
