veinminer++

With Veinminer++, holding Sneak while breaking a block mines the whole connected vein, tree or cluster that the block belongs to.

What it does

The mod adds a vein mining action to Fabric and NeoForge. Holding Sneak and breaking a block removes every connected block of the same kind in one action, using the tool in hand. Ores, logs with their leaves and soft blocks such as dirt, sand and grass can all be collected this way, and an optional mode lets soft blocks be mined by hand without a tool. Breaking is staggered across server ticks, so a large vein or a giant tree is removed over several ticks instead of freezing the server.

Shapes control the area that a vein covers. A cycling key pair moves the selection between shapes, and the chosen shape appears in the action bar while a short-lived 3×3×3 outline flashes around the targeted block. Smart ore matching groups related blocks, so deepslate ores and mixed stone variants of one metal count as a single vein. Tree felling can also clear isolated leaves and drop the same loot, and the mod can give decay saplings, sticks and apples. Durability cost per block is adjustable from 0, which is free, up to 150, and Unbreaking still applies. Caps on tree size, blocks per tick and stagger rate are set in the config, which opens from the Mod Menu list or a Cloth Config screen.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. Both client and server install the mod, and it works in singleplayer and on dedicated servers. The code is open source under the MIT License, which allows free use, modification and redistribution, including in modpacks. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Vein and tree felling

    Hold Sneak and break a block to remove the whole connected vein, ore cluster or tree at once.

  2. Selectable shapes

    Cycle between shapes with previous and next keys; the active shape is shown on the action bar with a short 3×3×3 preview.

  3. Smart ore matching

    Related ores, including deepslate variants and mixed stone, are grouped so one break removes a full vein.

  4. Tidy leaf cleanup

    Felling can clear isolated leaves and drop the same loot, with the leaf-cleanup option toggled in the config.

  5. Staggered breaking

    Blocks are removed across ticks with capped counts, so large veins and giant trees never freeze the server.

  6. Durability control

    Durability per block can be tuned anywhere from 0, which costs nothing, up to 150; enchantments such as Unbreaking keep applying, and a felling run halts one hit short of breaking the tool.

Questions

Does Veinminer++ need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on Fabric. Mod Menu is optional and only provides a shortcut to the config screen.

Do both the client and the server need the mod?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can the vein mining cost durability?

It can. The durability cost per block is set in the config from 0, which is free, up to 150, and Unbreaking still applies.

What the author says

Hold Sneak while you break a block and Veinminer++ mines the whole connected vein — any block your tool can actually collect, not just ores. Breaking is staggered across ticks, so even a big vein or a giant tree never freezes the server. Built around a shared code path, so it behaves identically on Fabric and NeoForge.
