Overview #
Shorts Veinminer adds configurable, unlimited vein mining for virtually every block. Breaking one connected block breaks them all with a flood-fill miner that respects chunks, tools, and durability — no more breaking the same ore a hundred times.
Mining a vein means breaking the same block a hundred times. Shorts Veinminer makes breaking one connected block break them all — a flood-fill miner that respects chunks, tools, and durability.
Quick start #
- Install the mod for your Minecraft version.
- Break a block that is part of a connected vein.
- All connected same-type blocks break together.
- Adjust behaviour from config as needed.
- Watch durability — vein mining respects your tools.
Frequently asked questions #
Does it work on every block?
Virtually every block — it matches by block identity, so modded blocks work automatically with no whitelist or tags.
Is it a server mod?
It works client-side but is server-authoritative (no ghost blocks); a server plugin variant is planned.
Which versions?
1.21 through 1.21.11.
Does it respect enchantments?
Yes — Fortune, Silk Touch, full loot tables, XP orbs, tool durability, sounds, particles and stats are all handled.
Is it safe on huge veins?
It uses a non-recursive BFS flood-fill with a re-entrancy guard, and stops at chunk boundaries to avoid cascading loads.
Does it affect survival balance?
It behaves like vanilla breaking — no commands, no keybinds, zero configuration required.
