VeinMiner is a highly configurable Bukkit plugin that lets you mine an entire ore vein by breaking a single block. It works server-side, supporting all clients and cross-loader compatibility.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust with 5,955 endorsements and 76.6M downloads.
- Works on vanilla servers and supports all clients, no client mod needed.
- Highly configurable with two versions to suit different server needs.
⚠️ Cons
- The 2.x version requires specific server software (Paper, PurPur, Folia, Fabric/Quilt, NeoForge), not compatible with all setups.
- The 1.x datapack version is less customizable than the 2.x plugin/mod.
This is for server admins who want to reduce the grind of mining for their players, especially on survival or anarchy servers. It's also great for modpack creators who want a reliable veinminer that works across different loaders. Casual players on vanilla servers will appreciate the convenience, but the full customization is aimed at server owners.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on a vanilla server, use the 1.x datapack version for a simple drop-in solution.
- For more control, install the 2.x version on Paper or Fabric and tweak the config to your liking.
- Consider adding the client addon for a hotkey and mining preview to avoid accidental veinmining.
