Add-on for Veinminer: only pickaxes with the new Veinminer enchantment break the whole vein. Find it at the enchanting table, from librarians or in loot. A vanilla data pack for Java 26.2–26.3. Server-side only.
What a Veinminer pickaxe does: Veinminer's chain animation in game. Mine one iron ore and the vein breaks block by block, each block throwing its loot out in front of you.

A 34-block coal vein broken with Veinminer: the chain speeds up as it spreads, and the coal and XP land in a pile in front of the wall.
