PlaneMiner

Overview

PlaneMiner extends the standard pickaxe behavior so that when you sneak and break a block, all matching blocks in the 3x3 plane around the hit face are broken at the same time. No configuration files, no new items — it simply works with any vanilla pickaxe.

Features

• 3x3 plane mining — breaks up to 8 additional blocks surrounding the one you destroy
• Face-based plane detection — the mining plane aligns to the face you hit (top/bottom → horizontal plane, side → vertical plane)
• Same-block filter — only blocks of the same type as the clicked block are affected
• Vanilla-compatible drops — uses the game's standard destroy logic, so Fortune, Silk Touch, Unbreaking, and XP work exactly as normal
• Safe targeting — bedrock, fluids, tile entities (chests, furnaces, etc.), and air are never affected
• No client-side dependency conflicts — no custom items, GUIs, or packets added

Requirements

Usage

1. Hold any pickaxe in your main hand.
2. Hold Shift (sneak).
3. Break a block as normal.
4. All matching blocks in the 3x3 plane around the hit face are destroyed simultaneously.

Example: Hit the top face of a stone block while sneaking → all stone blocks in a 3x3 horizontal grid at that Y level are mined.
