Mine an entire vein of ore, chop an entire tree or break any group of blocks by holding a hotkey. A veinmining mod for Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt.
Requires [Forge Config API Port](https://modrinth.com/mod/forge-config-api-port).
Versions before Minecraft 1.21.9 (1.21.8 and below) require [Architectury API](https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api).

### How To Use It
Hold the Tilde/Grave key, look at a block, and mine it. The outlines should show what you're about to mine.

There are a few shapes you can mine with and to switch between them hold the Liteminer key and scroll your mouse wheel.
The available shapes are: Shapeless (mines connected blocks), 3x3, Small Tunnel, Staircase Up and Staircase Down.
### Current Plan
I've completed all the features I wanted to add to the mod when I started the project, and I'm happy with how it turned out. The next steps are fixing bugs that might come up and adding new features that I think of or that are requested by the community.
Thank you for the support!
### Tags
#### Item Tags
* `liteminer:excluded_tools` - items in this tag can't be used for litemining (applies to main hand slot)
* `liteminer:included_tools` - if `require_tool` is true in server config, by default only "tool" items can be used (tiered items with durability); this can be used to allow extra items
#### Block Tags
* `liteminer:excluded_blocks` - blocks in this tag may never be litemined
* `liteminer:block_whitelist` - if this tag is non-empty, then _only_ blocks in this tag may be litemined
> Note: these tags are compatible with the FTB Ultimine tags, so you can use the same tags for both mods if you already have a setup you like.
