veinmining
by UltraLionfr
Veinmining is a NeoForge enchantment that lets a pickaxe break an entire ore vein in one action, and its three levels widen the search range.
What it does
The enchantment is added by the mod and can be obtained through enchanting table support, so players do not need a command or a special item to reach it. When a pickaxe with the enchantment breaks an ore, connected ore of the same kind is broken together. Auto-detection recognizes vanilla ores as well as ores from other mods, and the search uses an optimized block lookup to limit lag on large veins.
Drops from each broken block are collected as they would be in normal mining, and each block consumes tool durability and grants experience like regular mining. The enchantment works with vanilla pickaxes and modded pickaxes alike. Veinmining runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.10, with 1.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Whole-vein mining
One break of an ore removes every connected block of the same ore in the vein.
Three enchantment levels
Levels II and III increase the range the vein search reaches, so larger veins can be broken at once.
Enchanting table access
The enchantment can be obtained through the enchanting table, so it fits into normal progression.
Normal mining rules kept
Durability, experience and drops work as in ordinary mining, so each block still costs the tool a use.

How it compares
Simple Vein Miner is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, also client and server, but it is not open source. Auto Smelt Pickaxe is NeoForge for 1.21.4 – 1.21.10 under All rights reserved and client and server, so it covers the same later versions that this mod does. Super Ore is NeoForge for 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, also client and server.
