Description
Starting with Minecraft 1.19.3, the main project page has moved to here. This page will remain for archival purposes and for 1.19.2 maintenance updates as needed.
Vein Mining is a mod that adds the titular Vein Mining enchantment, which allows the enchanted tool to break matching connected blocks. The enchantment and mining logic are highly configurable, letting players and modpack developers find their preferred method of balance.
Please see the wiki page for more configuration information.
Configuration files need Cloth Config API installed in order to generate on versions below 1.19.
