Description
Chain Mining
Mine smarter, not harder! Chain Mining is a Fabric mod that lets you harvest entire ore veins and tree trunks with a single block break.
⚡ Key Features
🔗 Chain Mining Break one block to instantly mine all connected blocks of the same type. Works with ores, logs, leaves, and more.
🔧 Optimized Durability Unlike other vein miners, Chain Mining only consumes 1 durability point per chain - no matter how many blocks you mine. Mine 64 diamonds? Still just 1 durability!
✨ Visual Preview White particle effects show the outline of blocks that will be mined before you break them. Know exactly what you're getting!
