✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive adoption with 76.6M downloads and 5,955 endorsements, proving it's a go-to for server admins.
- Works on vanilla servers and supports all clients, making it a no-fuss install for any server.
- Highly configurable with two versions, so you can pick the lightweight datapack or the full plugin.
⚠️ Cons
- The full 2.x version requires specific server platforms (Fabric/Quilt, Paper/PurPur/Folia, NeoForge), so it's not a one-size-fits-all plugin.
- The description is heavy on promotional links and badges, making it a bit cluttered to read.
- The 1.x datapack is lighter but lacks the advanced customization of the 2.x version.
This is for server admins who want to make mining less tedious for their players, whether on a vanilla or modded server. It's also great for players who want a more satisfying mining experience without forcing clients to install anything. If you're running a popular server and want a proven, widely-used solution, this is it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on a vanilla server, grab the 1.x datapack for a quick setup, but for full control, use the 2.x plugin on Paper or Fabric.
- Check out the optional client addon to give players a hotkey and a preview of what will be mined—it's a game-changer for precision.
- Use the enchantment addon if you want to gate veinmining behind an enchantment, so it doesn't feel too overpowered early game.
