Vein Miner Plugin 1.20.1 | Bukkit Server

Vein Miner Plugin for Minecraft Servers

Vein Miner lets you mine an entire ore vein by sneaking and breaking one block. Instead of clicking dozens of times to clear out a whole vein, you break one ore and the rest pops automatically. It’s the plugin version of the classic VeinMiner mod, built specifically for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers.

Features

The plugin includes a powerful, customizable block list that works exactly how you configure it. You can set which blocks get vein mined, assign them to specific tools, and create aliases to group similar blocks together. This gives prison servers, factions servers, and semi-vanilla servers a powerful mining buff without breaking balance. It rewards players who donate or support your server without being overpowered.

Custom mining patterns let you change how the vein mine works. The flexible system means you can tweak almost everything through config files or in-game commands, no restart needed.

Commands

/veinminer (alias: /vm) is your main command for managing the plugin.

Main Commands:

• reload – Reload the config without restarting the server
• version – Check which version you’re running
• toggle [tool] – Turn vein mining on or off for a tool
• pattern <namespace:key> – Set the mining pattern
• blocklist <tool> – Manage blocks for each tool

Block List Sub-Commands:

• add <id> [data] – Add a block to the list
• remove <id> [data] – Remove a block from the list
