The only VeinMiner for Minecraft 1.4.7
Old VeinMiner brings chain-mining to Minecraft 1.4.7 — a version no other VeinMiner mod supports.
Hold the activation key (` by default) and break a block. The entire connected vein is mined instantly, with drops delivered straight to your inventory.
Features
- 26-directional flood fill — mines diagonally connected blocks, closest first
- All mineable blocks — ores, leaves (with shears), and any connected block type
- Smart drops — compacted into stacks, delivered to inventory (overflow drops at feet)
- Tool durability — consumed per block, stops if your tool breaks
- Hunger cost — proportional to blocks mined (configurable, or disable it)
- Redstone-aware — lit and unlit redstone ore treated as the same vein
- Fully configurable — max blocks, hunger cost, activation key, drop behavior
