Highly configurable and works everywhere, even on your vanilla server.

Veinminer works server side, so all clients are supported. Even cross loaders & versions for addons!

Mod/Plugin Version (2.x)

The advanced (V2) version is a more powerful version that is only usable with Fabric/Quilt, Paper/PurPur/Folia & NeoForge servers.

Block Groups - Advanced Settings

Block groups can hold multiple blocks together that will be treated like the same block.

/veinminer groups create [] []

All blocks inside one group will be mined together.

A block can be in multiple groups. New blocks can be added or removed from groups with the following commands:

/veinminer groups edit add-block

/veinminer groups edit remove-block

Groups can be limited to certain tools, for example group wood can only be mined by axes.

If no tool is added to a group, all tools are allowed. If a block is in multiple groups, all tools from those groups are allowed.

(If a block is in one unlimited tool group and one limited to axes, only axes work for this block)

/veinminer groups edit add-tool

/veinminer groups edit remove-tool

Example (Logs)

1. /veinminer groups create Logs
2. /veinminer groups edit Logs add-block #minecraft:logs
3. /veinminer groups edit Logs add-tool #minecraft:axes

Block and item inputs allow block and item tags for easier editing.

For example, to add all logs enter #minecraft:logs into any block input.

Visit the wiki for a full list or look at a block with F3 under "looking at".

You can also modify the group file directly inside .../veinminer/default_groups.json (config/... for mods, plugins/... for plugins)

Setting Overrides - Too Advanced Settings

Overrides are optional settings, that will override the normal setting if the player is effected by it.

See examples underneath for a better understanding, I don't blame you if you think "why...".

Client Overrides

Those settings will be applied to all users that use the client addon (hotkey).

E.g. you want to have mustSneak enabled in general, but disabled for hotkey users:

  • /veinminer settings mustSneak true - True for all
  • /veinminer settings client override mustSneak false - False override for hotkey users

Group Overrides

Those settings will be applied to all users that mine a block from this specific group.

Each group can have a different override, if a block is in multiple groups, only the override from the oldest group count (this behavior may see improvement later).

E.g. you dont want that your sand & dirt group consumes durability:

  • /veinminer settings decreaseDurability true - True for all blocks
  • /veinminer groups shovel edit override decreaseDurability false - False override for this group

If both, client and group overrides, collide the group override takes priority (normal < client < group).

You can remove overrides with /veinminer ... override unset .

OP players will have all permissions. To manually grant permissions see Luckperms (NeoForge not supported yet).

DataPack Version (1.x)

The DataPack (V1) version is a simple version that is usable on every server and world.

Enter the config command to open an interactive chat menu to edit all settings.

| Command | Permission | Description |

|:---------------------------:|:-----------:|:-------------------------------------:|

| /function veinminer:_config | OP/Cheats | Access the full settings menu in chat |

If you get prompted something like {category:"pickaxe", namespace:"", id:""}, you need to fill in the item/block namespace & ID (press F3+H to see them), e.g. {category:"pickaxe", namespace:"minecraft", id:"sand"} for minecraft:sand

Some Advice

  • To veinmine, your tool must be able to mine the block in normal conditions (unless disabled in V2)
  • While Veinminer is running very lightweight, mining unnatural big veins can lag the client and the server through the amount of items
