SimpleMiner
A chain-mining mod.
What it does
Hold a key, mine a block, and everything connected to it goes too.
- Undo Every chain mine gets recorded.(If the server allows it) Open a GUI, pick a record, and the whole thing gets reverted — blocks restored, items returned to your inventory.
- Per-player max size. You can set your own limit (or leave it at
-1to follow the server). - Block family matching. Instead of "only the same block", you can define families like
minecraft:coal_ore,minecraft:deepslate_coal_oreor#minecraft:base_stone_overworld. Supports!to exclude things.
