A lightweight VeinMiner and TreeCapitator mod that lets you sneak-mine entire veins and trees with built-in tool safety and mod support.
⛏️ VeinMiner (Forge 1.20.1)
A clean, lightweight, and highly optimized VeinMiner & TreeCapitator mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge).
Sneak (Shift) while mining to instantly mine entire veins of ores and fell entire trees (logs and leaves) with all drops delivered straight to your feet!
✨ Features
💎 Ore Vein Mining: Mine entire ore veins in a single click while sneaking (Shift).
🪓 Full Tree Felling (TreeCapitator): Chop down whole trees instantly! Automatically cuts the trunk and clears connected leaves, dropping all wood, saplings, sticks, and apples together.
🔄 Deepslate & Stone Seamless Transition: Veins that span between stone and deepslate layers (e.g. Osmium, Iron, Copper) are mined together seamlessly across layer boundaries.
🛡️ Tool Durability Safeguard: Never accidentally destroy your favorite enchanted pickaxe or axe. Vein mining automatically halts before your tool breaks (leaves at least 1 durability).
📦 Aggregated Drops: All mined blocks and XP drop right where you broke the initial block—no need to climb up trees or explore dark caverns to collect your loot.
⚙️ Fully Configurable: Easily adjust max blocks, sneak-only mode, hunger exhaustion, and add custom block IDs via config/veinminer-common.toml.
⚡ Ultra Lightweight & Zero Required Dependencies: Built using efficient 3D flood-fill (BFS) algorithms. Server-friendly and cause zero lag.
🌐 Mod Compatibility & Optional Dependencies
VeinMiner natively supports all vanilla blocks plus modded ores and trees out of the box
Works seamlessly with (as optional dependencies):
Mekanism: Osmium, Tin, Lead, Uranium, Fluorite (regular & deepslate).
