About this project

What does HEC-veinmining add?

Vein Mining — Break the whole vein in one swing

No more chipping away block by block! Grab your tool, crouch down, and mine a single block — every connected block of the same type is instantly chain-harvested, with all drops and experience collected automatically. Whole ore veins deep underground, rows of logs, or large slabs of stone can be cleared in a single action.

Key Features

⛏️ Chain Harvesting — While sneaking, adjacent blocks of the same type break together, so an entire vein comes out at once.

🌐 Works on Every Block — All blocks are chain-mineable by default; only a blacklist (e.g. grass) is excluded, keeping things clean.

✨ White Outline Highlight — While sneaking, the block under your crosshair and all connected same-type blocks are outlined in a white glow, so you can see the harvest range at a glance.

⚙️ In-Game Settings — Press V anytime to open the settings menu: add/remove chain-mineable blocks, adjust the max block limit, toggle the sneak requirement, and set hunger cost.

🛠️ Vanilla-Balanced — Consumes tool durability normally and respects tool tier requirements, so it never breaks game balance.

How to Use

Equip a suitable tool (pickaxe / axe, etc.);

Crouch (sneak);

Mine any block — adjacent blocks of the same type are harvested together.
