TC VeinGlow

TC VeinGlow is an advanced vein mining mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, supporting Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. It goes far beyond a standard vein miner — featuring a radial menu, RGB-customizable block outline highlighter, preset and custom mining shapes, and a full skill system.

Smart Vein Mining

Break an entire ore vein, fell a whole tree, or harvest a full field in a single action. The mod uses a server-side Block Action Queue to process blocks smoothly without causing server lag.

Radial Menu

Hold G to open the radial menu and instantly switch between mining modes — no need to memorize multiple keybinds.

RGB Block Outline Highlighter

All blocks about to be mined are highlighted with a smooth outline. Fully customizable: pick any RGB color, adjust thickness, transition speed, or enable rainbow mode.

Mining Shapes

Choose from built-in shapes or create your own:

Menu Name Description Standard (Face) Expands through the 6 directly adjacent block faces. Standard V2 (Edges) Expands through faces and edge-adjacent blocks (18 directions). Standard V3 (Corners) Expands through faces, edges, and 3D corners (26 directions), providing the widest coverage. TreeCapitator Cuts down an entire tree using the #logs tag and automatically replants saplings. Tunnel 1×2 Mines a tunnel 1 block wide and 2 blocks high, extending in the direction you are looking. Tunnel 3×3 Mines a 3×3 tunnel extending in the direction you are looking. Stair Up Creates an upward staircase, moving up one block for each step forward. Stair Down Creates a downward staircase, moving down one block for each step forward. 3×3 Area Mines a 3×3 area perpendicular to the face you are targeting. 5×5 Area Mines a 5×5 area perpendicular to the face you are targeting.

Skill System

• Break Skill — standard block breaking
• Crop Harvest Skill — harvest crops across a wide area and auto-replant
• Bucket Skill — collect or place liquids (water, lava) in bulk
• Interact Skill — strip logs, till soil, create paths, and more in bulk

HUD Overlay

A compact on-screen display shows the current mode, active tool, and block count. Includes smooth toast notifications when you switch modes. Position, color, opacity, and style are fully customizable.

In-Game Config GUI

All settings are accessible from inside the game — no need to edit config files manually. Includes tabs for General, Colors, Filters, Skills, Shapes, and Dashboard.

Block Filter System

Manage a per-world blacklist/whitelist directly from the in-game menu. Supports Minecraft tag notation (e.g. #minecraft:logs, #forge:ores) for broad compatibility with other mods.

Multiplayer Support

Fully supported. The mod must be installed on both server and client. All mining logic runs server-side to prevent cheating and reduce client load.

Default Keybinds
