Key Features
Automatic Vein Breaking
- Breaks entire connected ore veins (coal, iron, gold, lapis, redstone, diamond, emerald, nether ores, ancient debris, copper, deepslate variants) in one action.
- Respects vanilla harvest levels: only breaks ores if your pickaxe meets the required tier.
Tool-Level Checks
- Wooden pickaxe: can mine coal, deepslate coal, nether quartz.
- Stone pickaxe: iron, lapis, copper variants, etc.
- Iron+: redstone, gold, diamond, emerald; Diamond+: ancient debris; Netherite covers all.
- Feedback when insufficient level: tells you “You need level X to mine this.”
Toggleable Mode
- Sneak + Use on any pickaxe toggles vein-mining ON/OFF, with actionbar confirmation (“[VeinMiner] ON/OFF”).
- Tag-based control: disable vein-mining temporarily when desired.
Engaging Feedback
- Particle effects (`new:crust`) on each broken ore block.
- Pop sound and title “Minered: X” showing count of mined blocks.
- Initial tip when holding pickaxe: “Sneak + Use to Toggle”.
Seamless Integration
- Lightweight scripts via
@minecraft/serverAPI; minimal performance impact. - Compatible with other Behavior/Resource Packs; add custom recipes for pickaxes as usual.
