Vein Vantage
by DreykaOas
Vein Vantage gives mining tools three enchantments that break whole ore veins or clear wide areas with one strike, on NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4.
What it does
Vein Vantage is an optimization mod for NeoForge that adds enchantments to pickaxes and other tools. Its main enchantment, Vein Sweep, lets a player crouch and break one ore block to destroy every connected ore block of the same type. Vein Sweep has eight levels, and higher levels reach more blocks. The second enchantment, Clearing Strike, removes a 3x3 or 5x5 area in the direction the player is looking. The third enchantment adds beneficial potion effects while the player digs.
The mod is aimed at long digging sessions, tunnel building and clearing large underground spaces. Files exist for 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 3.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest NeoForge file, published on 2025-05-24. Client and server: the mod must be installed on the server and on every connecting client for the enchantments to work correctly. The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source.
