Molten Veins

Discord

Tired of hauling raw ore back to your furnace? Molten Veins skips the wait and drops ingots straight into your inventory when you mine iron, gold, copper, or ancient debris.

But that's not all, hold your vein mine key and break one ore block to shatter the entire connected vein. Up to 256 blocks at once, all auto-smelted if applicable.

✨ Features

  • Auto-Smelt: Mine ore, get ingots instantly (iron, gold, copper, ancient debris, clay)
  • 5 Mining Modes: Vein, Excavate, Tunnel, 3x3, and Layer switch on the fly with a keybind, mouse scroll, or the settings menu
  • Vein Mining: Break entire ore veins with one block (works with ALL ores + hay bales + clay + obsidian!)
  • Silk Touch Support: Silk Touch bypasses auto-smelt and drops ore blocks as expected
  • Fortune Support: Auto-smelting respects fortune enchantment for bonus drops
  • XP Bonus: Random 1-4x XP multiplier to compensate for skipped furnace XP
  • Magnet Mode: Drops loot directly to your inventory
  • Custom Config UI: Press Z for a fully custom-drawn settings screen with orange-themed design, toggle switches, item icons, and smooth animations
  • Per-Block Toggles: Enable/disable each block type individually
  • Rebindable Keys: Change hotkeys in Minecraft's controls menu

⛏️ Mining Modes

Mode What it does
Vein Flood-fill connected ore of the same type (classic vein mining)
Excavate Clear connected same-type blocks perfect for stone & dirt
Tunnel Dig forward in the direction you're facing (adjustable length, optional 3x3)
3x3 Break the 3x3 area around the block you mine
Layer Break a flat layer around the block (adjustable size, up to chunk-sized)

Switch modes three ways: the Cycle Mode key (default V), hold Vein Mine + scroll, or pick your mode right in the settings menu. Tunnel length and layer size are fully configurable in the GUI.
