Vein Mining (Fabric 1.16.4 - 1.19.2) for Minecraft

Review Vein Mining (Fabric 1.16.4 - 1.19.2)

A quick ore mining in Minecraft

How do you usually collect different types of ore in Minecraft? For this, the player needs to go down into a mine, carrying a pickaxe. Preferably, the one enchanted with the «Efficiency» to get blocks faster. And if you also has to search for certain ores, then the procedure can take hours, and the player has to literally calculate every move not to miss a single block. After all, this is a common situation when you dig resources, find a «vein», but fail to get all the materials, right? With the Vein Mining mod, this won’t ever happen, because it allows to mine the entire «vein» with one click!

If you want to extract resources in Minecraft quickly, without missing important ores at the same time, then be sure to install Vein Mining, because only such add-ons allow you to collect all the ores in one click without missing a single block. However, this option is slightly different compared to other mods, since the mechanics are added as a separate enchantment here, and if the player hasn’t applied it onto a particular item, respectively, there won’t be any improvements, and he’ll have to extract resources in Minecraft in the standard way!

We’ve already talked many times about various mods that add new ore mining mechanics to the game – the system analyzes the entire ore «vein» and extracts blocks in one hit. In this case, the player saves time on mining blocks, as well as can collect 100% of all resources from a particular vein without missing a single block, even if they are located diagonally. But Vein Mining differs from its analogues, as this mechanic is added as a separate enchantment. So, if you want to get such a buff, you’ll need to apply the effect onto a certain item.

Indeed, the new enchantment allows you to extract not only ores, but identical blocks as well. For example, if you have a large area of stone, then you can collect all the blocks from there with one hit. As a result, you can quickly cut down trees, clear the territory, stones, masonry and much more. With such tools, you can significantly increase efficiency and will no longer need the «Efficiency» charms that you get in the vanilla version of the game. You can apply it onto pickaxes, axes, and shovels. However, the Vein Mining system allows you to mine up to 51 blocks at a time, and you should keep this factor in mind.

It’s also recommended to monitor the tool durability, since the system takes away exactly as much durability as the number of blocks you collect in one hit. Therefore, your pickaxe may break after 10-20 massive minings, and if you exceed the durability threshold, the tool will simply break and you’ll have to craft a new one and apply enchantments. By the way, you can also add «Durability» to any item to extend the service life of a particular tool in the game. This is incredibly effective, and if you have access to a village of civilians, then you can buy books with these effects from them!

The mechanics of VeinMining allows you to break one block at a time, even with enchantment. For this, just hold down the Shift key and hit different ores and items in the game. However, this also consumes durability, but in smaller amounts. In the mod folder, you’ll find a configuration file where you can adjust the distance, the number of blocks broken in one hit, durability limits, and so on. If the user installs Vein Mining on the server, he can add a black and white item lists for this add-on to operate correctly. For example, it can allow you to mine diamonds with one click, but forbid you to repeat the procedure with obsidian.

In general, the capabilities of Vein Mining, are obviously impressive: the mechanic is fine-tuned, so it’s up for each player to decide how to use the functionality of this add-on. We recommend trying all the Vein Mining’s features and parameters, no matter which version of Minecraft you use this tool for. Currently, this mod is available for 1.21 for most loaders (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt). At the same time, Vein Mining has been downloaded over 20 million times and is always supported by the developer.

In general, we can conclude that Vein Mining is one of the best mods in its category, because not only it offers to collect ores with a pickaxe, but also adds a separate enchantment effect to the game world. Here, each player can decide whether he needs this mechanic or not. You can even add a small chance the such enchantments will spawn in Minecraft if you want to make the new mechanic more interesting and simply make players visit different locations and dungeons more often in search of new effects! There are a lot of configuration items in the configuration file, and if you have any questions, just leave a comment under the post, and experiences players will answer you.
