📋 About This Mod
Author Message
I made this mod for myself because I was tired of digging through the terrain whenever I was mining. My general awareness and expedience regarding comments or bugs will probably be pretty bad. It should be pretty safe to use but the code is on github if anyone needs it.

Update: Credits to Vlad00003 for the latest bugfix in version 1. 0. 2
Description
Mine ore deposits without having to also mine the terrain that the ore is clipping into. This works by simply modifying which area is struck and attempting to replace it with the "lowest" area with exception of the current hit area. This should result in mining away deposit areas from the bottom-up, no matter were you are striking.
Requirements
-
[]Valheim, version 0. 218. 15+

Simply mine ore like you used to and the mod will do its thing. If you want to mine large rocks the vanilla way, you can hold down the left shift key while mining. You can also configure the "normal mining key" and if you want normal mining to be default in the mods config file (found in "Valheim\BepInEx\config\Uwazouri. TopMining.cfg" or use a BepInEx Configuration Mod).
