About Ore Harvester
From Modrinth⛏️ Harvest entire ore veins instantly and drop ore items at the initial block position. An updated alternative to the vein miner / veinminer mods.
Ore Harvester allows players to mine entire ore veins instantly, by breaking one of the blocks in it while crouching. The time it takes to mine is increased by the amount of ore that's in the vein. All ore items will be dropped at the initial broken block's position. It is compatible with Silk Touch and any other enchantments. Diagionally connected blocks are also broken, as long as it's visible with an air block. Stone and deepslate variants of the same ore are harvested together, and a pickaxe that can't mine the ore only breaks the one block.
The mod has various config options to edit the behaviour. There is also a blacklist file available where you can specify which pickaxes are allowed to use the mod's feature. Paxels and other modded tools that aren't detected as a pickaxe can be added in the config. The same goes for blocks that should be harvested as ore veins. Every harvested ore also triggers a block break event, so mods like Project MMO see each one.
Developed to work alongside my Tree Harvester mod.
