About this project

What does EasyExcavate add?

NOTE: This mod is no longer supported! For your Fabric-based vein mining needs, please see Diggus Maximus!

This mod is heavily inspired by, and is essentially a barebones clone of, VeinMiner or OreExcavator, built for 1.14.x using Fabric!

Hold the Grave key (or whatever key you've set in the controls menu) when mining a block (with the correct tool) and blocks of the same type will get broken alongside it!

This does take the correct amount of durability from the used tool, as well as add the correct amount of exhaustion (plus more, by default).

You, or a server owner, can customize many aspects of the mod. Customizable aspects include the maximum blocks that can be broken at once, the maximum range the excavation can go, the bonus exhaustion multiplier, a blacklist of blocks that can be excavated (that can be inverted into a whitelist), a blacklist of tools/items that can excavate (also invertable), whether a tool is necessary, and more.

The bonus exhaustion multiplier is applied as follows:

Vanilla Exhaustion Rate * (Blocks Broken * BEM)

(the vanilla exhaustion rate is 0.005 per block broken)

As the name implies, it is applied on top of the 0.005 exhaustion per block you would get in vanilla.

Server config settings override client config settings, meaning server owners can set how everyone's excavation behaves.

By default, an excavation can mine up to 128 blocks at once, with a range of 8 and a bonus exhaustion multiplier of 0.125.

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a Forge mod! It does not work with Forge. It uses the Fabric Mod Loader (found here) in addition to the Fabric API. It will most likely never be ported to Forge. Do not ask for a Forge port! You will be ignored!
