SmartVein

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by TYXO00 · on CurseForge

A lightweight Fabric & Forge mod to mine entire ore veins in a single swing! Features 3 toggleable modes (via keybind) and easy support for modded ores.

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.

Tired of spending hours mining identical blocks one by one or chopping down massive trees log by log? SmartVein does the heavy lifting for you!

✨ Features

🪨 Ore Vein Mining

Simply break any ore block with a Pickaxe, and the entire vein will instantly pop and drop its resources!
Safely mines up to 64 connected blocks per vein to prevent server lag.

🍃 Smart Fast Leaf Decay: When a tree is chopped, its leaves will instantly disappear.
Anti-Deforestation Tech: Our custom algorithm ensures that leaves connected to other nearby trees are spared. You can safely chop a tree in a dense forest without ruining the landscape or breaking player-placed leaves!

Sneak Mode: The mod is only active while you are crouching/sneaking.
Always Active: The mod is always on, no matter what.
Disabled: The mod is completely turned off.
Loaders: Available for both Fabric and Forge (1.20.1).
