🛠️ OneKeyMiner (Forge / NeoForge) – Chain Mining & Planting Mod
Loaders: Forge & NeoForge Compatible Minecraft Versions: 1.20.x & 1.21.x (including 1.21.5)
📋 Overview
OneKeyMiner offers a seamless chain-mining and farming experience on both Forge and NeoForge. Hold down your chosen key (default: ~) to auto-break adjacent identical blocks or plant seeds in bulk. Both versions deliver identical core functionality—mining, planting, tool durability protection—while NeoForge further expands interaction capabilities.
✨ Features
- Chain Mining: Break one block, and all connected matching blocks are automatically mined.
- Chain Planting: Plant seeds over multiple tilled blocks in one go.
- Tool Protection & Durability Check: Mod prevents tool breakage mid-use, ensuring smooth operation.
- Advanced Configuration: Customize limits, tools, block types, and modes for tailored play.
- NeoForge Exclusive – Chain Interactions: Beyond ore and crops, use the feature on sheep (shears), farmland, and other block-entity actions.
⚙️ Commands & Config Differences
Both versions share the /excavation command prefix, but differ slightly in subcommands:
- To ignore tool compatibility in NeoForge, use:
/excavation common common ignoreToolCompatibility true
(This command format may not apply identically in Forge.)
- Forge users: If chain mining fails, try deleting its config and restarting; commands are simpler and may vary.
🆕 Version History & Sync Status
- Forge v3.0.0 – Released May 27, 2025; this version achieves full feature parity with NeoForge 1.5.3, differing only in command parameters.
✅ Summary
- Forge & NeoForge both deliver complete chain-mining/planting, tool protection, and auto-durability.
- NeoForge adds extra versatility through chain interactions (e.g., sheep shearing) and more robust configuration options.
- Choosing between them depends on loader preference and your need for command precision.
❓Q&A:
Q: Why can't I vine mine stone?

Q: Why are some blocks missed when chain mining instead of being vine mined together?

Q: How to make items dropped from vine mined blocks teleport to myself?
A: Check the common config file or use /excavation common options teleportDropsToPlayer <true|false>.
Q: Why do the enchantments on my tool not work when vine mining? Or why can I still vine mine when my tool is incompatible?
A: You should enter /excavation common options ignoreToolCompatibility false or set ignoreTool compatibility to false.
Q: Why does my chain mode automatically turn off after a while when set to toggle?
A: Many players reported forgetting to turn off chain mode, leading to vine mining unintended blocks, so I added a frozen feature. You can change the cooldown time in the client config or use commands.
