About VeinMiner

From Hangar

A QoL plugin that auto-mines all connected ores of the same type when one is broken—mine faster, mine smarter.

VeinMiner

VeinMiner is a lightweight but powerful quality-of-life plugin that lets players automatically mine entire ore veins by breaking just one block. It’s perfect for survival, semi-vanilla, or RPG servers looking to make mining more engaging and efficient. VeinMiner helps players mine smarter with customizable behavior, optional smelting, and full control over how mining works. Simple, flexible, and performance-friendly — a must-have for any mining-focused server.
  • Automatic Vein Mining: Break one ore block to mine the whole vein automatically.
  • Auto-Smelt Drops: Instantly smelt ores as they're mined.
  • Direct Inventory Injection: Send mined drops straight to the player’s inventory.
  • XP Support: Grant experience orbs when smelting directly.
  • Tool System: Customizeable system for tools.
  • Custom Durability Modes: Choose how tools are damaged — per vein or per block.
  • Fully Configurable: Tweak every feature to match your server’s gameplay style.
  • Lightweight and Efficient: Optimized for performance, even with large ore veins.
  • Modern Paper Support: Built specifically for the latest versions of Paper.
