About Simple Veinminer

From Modrinth

A veinminer / ore excavator for fabric

This is a veinmining mod

Veinmining mines veins of a same block. For mining 3x3s, look for a hammer/excavator mod

To activate veinmining, use the keybinding. Keybindings can be changed in the controls menu

Please read this page before asking questions


Also available on curseforge


Requires Fabric Loader (and requires fabric API)

Required on server Required on client

This Is my first actual mod, so some feedback would be appreciated

As this is my first mod, I'm not 100% sure if I've done everything the most efficient way possible, but I did my best

Found a bug? Has a suggestion? Any complaints?

Please leave a comment on curseforge or create an issue on Github

Enchantments and multiplayer

I haven't tested any modded enchantments (yet), but the vanilla ones work correctly

From what I've tested, it works fine on multiplayer

But admittedly, I play basically just singleplayer, so if there are multiplayer only issues, I'll mostly likely never find them on my on

The mod needs to be installed on the server and is heavily recommended on the client

If you find anything wrong, please do report it

Config

The mod works out of the box, but it has some config options you may find useful

I suggest messing around with them a bit to find what fits you best

The easiest way to do that is by using Mod Menu and Cloth Config, but both are optional

Commands

The config options can also be changed using /veinmining or /veinminingclient

Highlighting

There are config options to highlight what blocks will be mined

When using the "outline" mode, I recommend turning on "highlight only exposed". As the outline of non-exposed blocks can't be seen anyway

Beware of the "highlight only exposed" option, as turning it off can lag your game when highlighting a large number of blocks depending on how powerful your computer is (Having "max blocks" set too high would lag (or even crash) your game when mining anyway. So be careful with that)

If you are confused about the difference between highlighting modes, I recommend testing them on anvils

~~Shapes (BETA)~~ Removed

Modpacks

Feel free to add this to as many modpacks as you would like

Other stuff

If you are having trouble with "restrictions" configs. Make sure "Ignore restrictions when on creative mode" is set to false
