VeinMiner is a lightweight yet powerful quality-of-life mod for Minecraft Forge that makes resource gathering significantly more convenient.
Instead of mining every single block of an ore vein or tree trunk manually, VeinMiner automatically destroys all connected blocks of the same type as soon as you break one — depending on your tool and your VeinMode status.

Supports all vanilla ores such as Coal, Iron, Diamond, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Copper, and all Deepslate variants

VeinMiner makes gameplay smoother, more intuitive, and far less grindy — without becoming overpowered.
