⛏️ Arctic’s Vein Miner

A modern, high-performance multi-block mining mod

Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47.x · Java 17+

Arctic’s Vein Miner adds powerful, configurable multi-block mining to modern Forge environments.
Mine veins, tunnels, or structured areas instantly — with full control, multiplayer safety, and clean performance.

🚀 Why Arctic’s Vein Miner?

• ⚡ Optimized block selection — efficient connected-block scanning
• 🧠 Multiple mining patterns — vein, tunnel, and square
• 🛠️ Deep configuration — full TOML control
• 🧩 Modded block support — works automatically with most modded ores
• 🌐 Server-authoritative logic — safe for multiplayer
• ❄️ Clean architecture — no unnecessary GUI clutter

Built as a modern, lightweight alternative to legacy vein mining implementations.

✨ Mining Patterns

⛏️ Vein (Shapeless)

• Mines connected same-type blocks in a 3D blob
• Uses full 26-direction neighbor detection
• Configurable depth limit
• Respects maximum blocks per operation

Perfect for ores, logs, and large material clusters.

🧱 Small Tunnel (1×1)

• Straight tunnel in the direction you are looking
• Configurable length
• Works vertically and horizontally

🏗️ Large Tunnel (3×3)

• 3 blocks wide × 3 blocks tall
• Direction based on look vector
• Configurable length
• Hardness-aware: only breaks blocks equal to or softer than the starting block

🧩 Square (Configurable)

• Breaks a square on the face you hit
• Size configurable from 3×3 up to 15×15
• Hardness-aware to prevent unintended block breaks

🎮 Controls (Default)

• Activate Vein Miner: ` (grave key)
• Cycle Pattern: Hold activation key + Shift, then scroll mouse wheel

Usage:

• Hold Activate → left-click block → first block breaks normally
• Extra blocks break according to the selected pattern
• Release Activate → return to normal mining

🧠 How It Works

• The first block always breaks normally (no vanilla override).
• Additional blocks are computed server-side and broken instantly.
• Drops go directly into your inventory (or drop if full).
• Tool durability is applied once per operation using a configurable multiplier.
• Creative mode ignores durability.

Tunnel and Square patterns respect block hardness rules.
Vein pattern only mines the same block type.
