Break an ore with a pickaxe and nearby connected ore of the same kind is mined too, including diagonal connections and deepslate variants. Logs work with axes. Other blocks break normally until you add a group for them.
The in-game configurator lets operators create named groups of blocks or block types and choose the tools allowed for each. Use exact items such as diamond_pickaxe or tool types such as #pickaxes. Settings save immediately and survive restarts.
Every extra block goes through player mining, including land-claim protection, harvest requirements, drops, enchantments and tool wear. There is a default limit of 64 blocks, an eight-block radius and a shared per-tick budget. Creative mode is off by default. Players can turn Veinminer off for themselves with /veinminer toggle.
What it does
- Mines connected blocks of the same kind; ordinary and deepslate ores of the same mineral connect.
- Starts with ores + pickaxes and logs + axes. Different minerals and different wood species stay separate.
- Create groups with exact block and item names, or block types #ores, #logs, #leaves, #stone and #dirt and tool types #pickaxes, #axes, #shovels, #hoes and #shears.
- Exact block rules override broad block types, so a custom tool restriction cannot fall through to a default group. Equal rules use the alphabetically first group name.
- Optionally mine different blocks in the same group together with group mixed; it is off by default.
- Stops when you change tools, disconnect, change dimensions, or a protection plugin refuses the next block. Never loads new chunks to search for a vein.

Adding it to a server needs a restart. Disable it from the server's Plugins tab and the plugin's files are removed at the next restart; its settings stay, so turning it on again picks up where you left off.
