Vein Miner | Veinst
by Jack_853
Veinst lets a player break a whole connected ore vein with one block break while holding the sneak key.
What it does
Breaking one ore block automatically breaks the connected blocks of the same type that lie within a set radius, so a full vein comes out in a single action instead of block by block. Activation is tied to holding the sneak key, and the surrounding ore blocks are removed with the mined one.
Veinst covers vanilla ores and modded ores alike, which suits long resource-gathering sessions or server-wide ore setups. It runs on the Fabric and Forge loaders and is published for 1.20.1 and 26.1.2, with Fabric builds at 1.4.0 for 26.1.2 and Forge builds at 1.3.0 for 1.20.1, both dated 2026-05-23. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Connected vein mining
Breaking one ore block removes the connected ore blocks of the same type within a configurable radius.
Sneak-key activation
Vein mining starts only while the player holds the sneak key, so normal breaking stays unchanged.
Vanilla and modded ores
Both vanilla ore blocks and ore blocks added by other mods can be harvested as veins.

Use cases
Resource gathering
Players collecting large amounts of ore can harvest a full deposit with one action instead of breaking each block.
Modded ore packs
Servers running many ore types from other mods can use one mechanic for all of them.
Who it’s for: Players who spend long sessions collecting ore and want fewer repeated block breaks. Server owners who want a shared ore-harvesting mechanic across vanilla and modded ores will also find it fits their setup.
