Vein Miner
by quillphen
Vein Miner lets a player break an entire ore vein or tree in one action by crouching and breaking a block.
What it does
Triggering a veinmine can reach both trees and ores. Mining ore demands a pickaxe in hand, whereas logs can be felled bare-handed. Crouching and breaking a block starts the veinmine.
Key features
Ore vein mining
Breaking one ore block while crouching removes the connected ore of the same kind in a single action.
Tree felling
Connected tree logs are removed together when a tree is veinmined, with no special tool required.
Pickaxe requirement for ores
Veinmining ore only proceeds when the player holds a pickaxe, so tool-free mining is limited to trees.

What the author says
When vein mining, both trees and ores can be targeted however, ores require a pickaxe for the process, while trees can be mined without any specific tools. Special thanks to PortableJim and Miraculixx for their existing VeinMiner projects and for making their work open source.
