Changes
🎉 MAJOR UPDATE: Enhanced Mining System & Multiplayer Fix
🔧 Critical Fixes
- ✅ FIXED: Multiplayer Compatibility - Vein mining now works perfectly on dedicated servers (was previously single-player only)
- ✅ FIXED: Tool Validation - Prevents inappropriate tool usage (wooden pickaxe can no longer mine diamond ore)
- ✅ FIXED: Staircase Mining - Completely redesigned with proper measurements and player direction awareness
🚀 New Mining Modes (6 Total)
- ⛏️ Vein Mining - Smart connected block detection (improved algorithm)
- ⚒️ 3x3 Tunnel - Direction-aware tunnel mining that follows where you're facing
- ⛏️ 5x5 Excavation - Large area clearing for big projects
- 🏗️ Staircase Mining - Proper 1-wide, 2-high staircase descent
- ⚡ Branch Mining - Efficient pattern with main tunnel + side branches for ore hunting
- ⬇️ Shaft Mining - Vertical 2x2 shaft for deep mining
🧠 Smart Features
- Player Direction Detection - All patterns adapt to where you're looking
- Tool Compatibility System - Only mines blocks your current tool can handle
- Safety Protection - Automatically skips dangerous blocks (lava, TNT, spawners, bedrock)
- Ore Priority System - Recognizes and prioritizes valuable blocks
🎨 UI/UX Improvements
- Enhanced Mode Messages - Colored descriptions with icons for each mining mode
- Removed Spam - No more annoying toggle messages when pressing/releasing V key
- Better Key Descriptions - Clearer tooltips and mode explanations
- Rich Formatting - Color-coded feedback for better visibility
⚙️ Technical Improvements
- Event-Based Architecture - Replaced problematic mixins with Fabric events for better compatibility
- Server-Side Logic - All mining calculations now happen server-side for multiplayer stability
- Memory Management - Automatic cleanup when players disconnect
- Performance Optimized - Improved block detection algorithms
🛡️ Safety & Stability
- Dangerous Block Protection - Won't mine bedrock, obsidian, lava, water, or other hazardous blocks
- Mining Level Validation - Respects vanilla mining requirements (iron pickaxe for diamond, etc.)
📋 Usage
- V Key: Toggle vein mining on/off (hold down while mining)
- M Key: Cycle through 6 different mining modes
- Direction Matters: Face the direction you want to mine for tunnel/staircase modes
- Tool Aware: Only compatible blocks will be mined based on your current tool
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
