Overview:
VeinMiner introduces a vanilla-friendly mechanic that allows players to instantly mine groups of adjacent blocks, saving nothing more than precious time. Groups of ores, large trees, vast crop fields, and more. Each tool can have its own configurable block list allowing for limitless possibilities. This is a fantastic perk for Prison, Factions and Semi-Vanilla servers that isn't overpowered but still gives players a rewarding benefit for donating to your server.
Features In Brief:
- Efficient mining of similar blocks in quick succession
- Powerful configuration for custom tool categories and block lists
- A variety of mining patterns to mine cubic regions, tunnels, or staircases
- Optional economy support
- Optional client-sided mod for custom keybinds (link)
- A developer API for custom mining patterns and behaviors
- Drag-and-drop installation with no additional steps for server owners by default
- Native Anti Cheat and PlaceholderAPI support
