📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Easy· 5-10 minutes

💡 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.
