Description
should be working for fabric 0.15.3 / minecraft 1.20.4
This is a veinmining mod
Veinmining mines veins of a same block. For mining 3x3s, look for a hammer/excavator mod
To activate veinmining, use the keybinding. Keybindings can be changed in the controls menu
Please read this page before asking questions
Cloth config integration was disabled for version 1.4.1 (because complete config hasn't updated yet), use commands to change configurations
Also available on modrinth
(and requires fabric API)
This Is my first actual mod, so some feedback would be appreciated
As this is my first mod, I'm not 100% sure if I've done everything the most efficient way possible, but I did my best
Found a bug? Has a suggestion? Any complaints?

Enchantments and multiplayer
I haven't tested any modded enchantments (yet), but the vanilla ones work correctly
From what I've tested, it works fine on multiplayer
But admittedly, I play basically just singleplayer, so if there are multiplayer only issues, I'll mostly likely never find them on my on
The mod needs to be installed on the server and is heavily recommended on the client
If you find anything wrong, please do report it
Config
The mod works out of the box, but it has some config options you may find useful
I suggest messing around with them a bit to find what fits you best
The easiest way to do that is by using Mod Menu and Cloth Config, but both are optional
Commands
The config options can also be changed using /veinmining or /veinminingclient
Highlighting
There are config options to highlight what blocks will be mined
When using the "outline" mode, I recommend turning on "highlight only exposed". As the outline of non-exposed blocks can't be seen anyway
Beware of the "highlight only exposed" option, as turning it off can lag your game when highlighting a large number of blocks depending on how powerful your computer is (Having "max blocks" set too high would lag (or even crash) your game when mining anyway. So be careful with that)
If you are confused about the difference between highlighting modes, I recommend testing them on anvils
Shapes (BETA) Removed
Modpacks
Feel free to add this to as many modpacks as you would like
Other stuff
If you are having trouble with "restrictions" configs. Make sure "Ignore restrictions when on creative mode" is set to false
