Smart Vein Miner

Smart Vein Miner

Mine the whole vein, not your whole cave.

Smart Vein Miner makes ore mining faster while keeping the experience close to normal Survival. Break one ore in a vein and the addon handles the connected blocks for you, with safeguards to avoid turning it into a free or careless mining tool.

Features
Smart ore-family detection
Only matching ores are mined together. Stone and deepslate variants of the same ore can belong to the same vein without accidentally chaining into unrelated ores.
Custom ore support
Supports many modded ores automatically, including common host-rock variants such as deepslate, andesite, diorite, granite, netherrack, and end stone.
Custom pickaxe support
Works with many modded pickaxes and includes compatibility handling for addons that manage tool durability through their own scripts.
Native loot behavior
Uses the block’s real loot behavior where possible, so Fortune, Silk Touch, custom drops, and tool requirements can continue working naturally.
Survival-friendly durability
Every mined ore costs durability. Unbreaking is respected, and Vein Miner stops if your pickaxe breaks.
Mending-friendly tool handling
Legitimate durability repairs during mining are handled without being mistaken for a tool swap.
Tool-change protection
Changing, moving, dropping, or replacing the pickaxe during an active operation safely cancels it.
Player-placed ore protection
Ores placed by players are tracked so decorative blocks and builds are less likely to be mined as part of a natural vein.
Persistent protection data
Player-placed ore tracking survives world reloads instead of being forgotten each session.
Multiplayer-safe mining
Two players cannot process the same vein at the same time, while separate nearby veins can still be mined normally.
Progressive processing
Large veins are processed in controlled batches instead of all at once, helping reduce sudden server or device load.
Shared performance budget
Multiple players share a global processing budget so simultaneous Vein Miner use does not scale into unnecessary lag.
5-second cooldown
Vein Miner cannot be spammed continuously. The cooldown starts after the current operation finishes.
Sneak and Reverse Sneak modes
Choose whether Vein Miner activates while sneaking or while standing normally.
Per-player ON/OFF toggle
Players can disable Vein Miner completely without changing their preferred activation mode.
Partial vein feedback
If a vein reaches the configured mining limit, the addon clearly tells you that only part of the vein was mined.
Creative-safe behavior
Automatic mining avoids normal Survival drops where Creative behavior should not generate them.
Gamerule awareness
Respects relevant world settings such as block drop behavior.
Block revalidation
Every ore is checked again before being removed. If another player, piston, or addon changes it first, Vein Miner does not blindly destroy the new block.
Piston-aware protection tracking
Ore movement caused by pistons is handled more carefully to avoid creating unnecessary false player-placed records.
Safe cancellation
Leaving the world, dying, changing dimensions, changing tools, or encountering invalid world state safely stops the active operation.
Compatibility controls
Includes allowlists, denylists, family overrides, and protection hooks for unusual custom ores or addon interactions.
English and Turkish support
In-game messages and configuration text are localized in both languages.

Smart Vein Miner is designed for players who want the convenience of vein mining without removing tool progression, mod compatibility, multiplayer safety, or the basic feel of Survival Minecraft.
