This mod is an update to VeinminerPlus. From now on, any trees or ores you place yourself will NOT be affected by chain mining. Only naturally generated trees and ores created by the world will trigger the chain break effect.

Description

🌲⛏ Chain Mining (Forge 1.20.1)

Chain Mining is a lightweight quality-of-life mod for Minecraft (Forge 1.20.1).

Mine entire trees or ore veins instantly — but only if they are naturally generated.


🔥 Features

🌳 Tree Chopping

Break one naturally generated log and:

  • All connected logs of the same type are mined instantly

  • Chop down a whole tree with a single block break

Supports all vanilla wood types:

  • Oak

  • Spruce

  • Birch

  • Jungle

  • Acacia

  • Dark Oak

  • Mangrove

  • Cherry

  • Crimson

  • Warped


⛏ Ore Vein Mining

Break one naturally generated ore block and:

  • The entire connected ore vein of the same type is mined

Supports:

  • Overworld ores

  • Deepslate ores

  • Nether ores

  • All vanilla ore types


🛑 Anti-Exploit Protection

Chain mining does NOT activate on player-placed blocks.

If you:

  • Place logs in Creative

  • Re-place Silk Touch mined ores

  • Build artificial ore veins or trees

→ The chain reaction will NOT trigger.

This prevents:

  • Exploits

  • Accidental base destruction

  • XP farm abuse


⚙ Technical Details

  • Forge 1.20.1 compatible

  • Server-side logic (multiplayer safe)

  • Non-recursive BFS algorithm (stable performance)

  • 128 block safety limit per chain

  • No config required — works out of the box


🎮 How to Use

Simply break a naturally generated:

  • 🌳 Log

  • ⛏ Ore block

That’s it. The mod handles the rest automatically.
