VeinMinerX

Mine entire ore veins at once by sneaking and breaking a single block — lightweight, configurable, and compatible with vanilla enchantments.

How it works

1. Sneak (shift) and break an ore block with a pickaxe
2. All connected ore blocks of the same type are mined instantly
3. Drops, Fortune, and Silk Touch work exactly like vanilla

• Your pickaxe never breaks — mining stops at 1 durability remaining
• Unbreaking enchantment is fully supported (reduces durability loss chance)
• Works with all ore types including Deepslate and Nether ores
