Why Mining+?

The existing vein mining mods on CurseForge are reported as broken. They don't drop items correctly and have chunk boundary bugs. Mining+ is built from scratch with proper drop handling, configurable patterns, and a polished UI (as much as I could sorry).

Mining+ is open source and under the MIT License. Check the source on GitHub.

Features

Vein Mining (Ores Only)

Mine one ore block and all connected ores of the same type break automatically. Iron connects to iron, silver to silver - never crosses types. Uses 26-directional adjacency so diagonal ores are included.

Tunnel mining in action

Excavation Patterns

Switch between mining modes to suit what you're doing:

Ores Only - Classic vein mining. Flood-fills connected ores.
Tunnel 1x1 - Single-block tunnel extending away from you.
Tunnel 2x1 - Player-height tunnel (2 high, 1 wide).
Tunnel 3x3 - Full 3x3 tunnel centered on the mined block.
3x3x3 Cube - 3x3 area, 3 blocks deep into the wall.
5x5x5 Cube - 5x5 area, 5 blocks deep into the wall.

All patterns use block face detection - the tunnel extends in the direction away from where you're standing.

In-Game Config UI

Open the config panel with /mining+. No items needed.

Mining+ Config UI

Configure:

Activation Key - Always active, or require Crouch (Ctrl) / Walk (Alt) to be held
Mining Mode - Choose your excavation pattern
Max Blocks - Limit how many blocks break per action (16 / 32 / 64 / 128)
Depth / Search Distance - How far veins and tunnels extend (8 / 16 / 32 / 64)

Proper Drops

All mined blocks drop their correct items using the game's drop tables. Drops spawn at the block you mined - no hunting for scattered items.

Safety

Max blocks per action prevents runaway mining
depth limit
Chunk boundary aware, skips unloaded chunks
Per-player enable/disable

Commands

Command	Description
`/mining+/m+/miningplus`	Open the config UI

Configuration

Server config is saved at mods/MiningPlus/config.json:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "maxBlocksPerAction": 64,
  "maxSearchDepth": 32
}

Per-player settings (activation key, pattern, toggle) are stored in memory and reset on server restart.
