by Nylad59 · on CurseForge

Zone Miner is a mod that adds enchantment-free area mining with switchable 1x1, 3x3x3, 5x5x5, and custom modes, live block previews, and vanilla-friendly…

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Break blocks in "1x1", "3x3x3", "5x5x5", or a fully custom mining shape, with live previews and direct in-game configuration.

Features :

- Multiple mining modes:
- 1x1
- 3x3x3
- 5x5x5
- Custom
- In-game keybinds to switch modes and open the custom area settings
- Mining direction follows the player's look direction
- Live white block outline preview before breaking
- Only breaks extra blocks when the held tool is appropriate
- Ore vein support
- Vanilla block breaking logic is preserved for drops and interactions

Two Versions Available :

This project is available in two separate versions for NeoForge and Forge.

Zone Miner :
The standard version uses `legacy durability`.
Your tool loses durability based on the number of blocks actually broken.

You're on the right page!

Zone Miner Single Use :
This version keeps the same mining features, but only uses `one durability point` for the whole area break.

You'll find it here!

Controls :

- "Y" : Cycle mining mode
- "U" : Open custom area settings

Custom Area Settings :

The custom mode lets you configure:

- Left
- Right
- Up
- Down
- Depth

Zone Miner is designed to stay simple and practical :
No enchantment requirement, no complicated setup, just configurable area mining with two durability variants depending on how you want to play.
