Vein Miner About
A mod to help mine veins of ores by mining blocks of the same type in a chain reaction, giving you the blocks at the end. It is inspired by Connected Destruction by Bspkrs.
More Spotlights:
It improves upon Connected Destruction by:
Can be optionally be installed in the client for hotkey support
Can have personal settings (that can be remembered using the client part of the mod
Actually uses the tool to mine, so drops are correct
Using
To use Veinminer, you need to have Veinminer installed on the server (for single player games the client and the server are the same). You do not need to have Veinminer installed on the client, however it will provide reduced functionality to the clients that do not have it installed.
In order to get the most out of Veinminer, you should edit the VeinMiner.cfg config file. Add the ids of the blocks to the different block lists to that you wish to be able to mine using Veinminer. Add any tools that you want to be able to use to use with Veinminer. The IDs should be changed on the server.
The default config file has the vanilla ores added for the pickaxes, vanilla wood added for the vanilla axes and clay for the shovel.
VeinMiner has several modes, each of which determine when it is activated. Modes are specific to each player.
'Disabled': Don't activate at all. This is the default if you don't have the mod installed in the client.
'Auto': Activate when the keyboard shortcut (also called a keybind) is pressed in the client. The keyboard shortcut by default is '~`.
'Sneak': Activate while you are sneaking. This is the same option as provided by Connected Destruction. This is the default if you have the client.
'No Sneak': Activate while you are not sneaking.
The client setting in the config file allows you to choose what mode you go into when you join a game. To set the default mod to disabled, set the shortcut to an unused key.You can use the
/veinminer
command to change the mode that VeinMiner is in for you. This can be done with
/veinminer mode
where is one of 'disable;, 'auto'; 'sneak'; or 'no_sneak'. You can use
/veinminer help enable
for help (i.e. info on this page).Using the default settings, an easy way to see VeinMiner working is to chop a tree (from vanilla) down using an axe (from vanilla).

Cool, But does this work with Modded Items ? and will it cause a crash when mining something like Marble from Project Red or Underground Biomes Stone replacement ?

It will work with modded items, and not crash. It actually calls the same method that is called to break the block when you do it yourself. You need to add the ids to the config though.
It was 0.6 something... ill try the new version, but you should check out your curse thingy... its not showing the 0.7 version (http://puu.sh/4UEQ2.png)
Works well, only issue I have is it appears somehow your mod changes the font ingame, while it does look nice, it does affect the readability of some mod gui's, like Thaumcraft's research table.
Also 0.7.2 gives this:
[SEVERE] [Forestry] portablejim.veinminer.VeinMiner failed validation. Halting runtime for security reasons. Please replace your mods with untampered versions from the official download sites.

Whoops, uploaded the unsigned version of the file. Should re-appear soon. The dropbox file should be signed.
Is there a option to change the front text back to normal? Instead of the new one, when using this mod?
Thanks
I don't think I can make it an option. In future versions I will have the text as normal. For now, check the dropbox links for versions with the font fixed.
I had some issues getting this to work at first, but after i set teh overrides to
# Mine all blocks with all registered tools that can harvest blocks.
B:override.allBlocks=true
# Allow all tools, including the open hand, to be used to mine blocks.
B:override.allTools=false
It now seems happy! Thought I would share if anyone else was having trouble, it could help?
Not sure what the issue was i'm afraid or i would have posted a better report - sorry

What version of VeinMiner was that on? Try using a newer VeinMiner (0.7.0 is out)
Yeah, it takes a few hours to show up there.
Good to see it working for you.

The mod will have to be largely rewritten with 1.7. That will be when I'll change it away from block ids.
No option for this. It is not really possible with the way I am handling breaking blocks.

// Puts the SHE in shenanigans!
Yeah. Sorry. Somehow I didn't fix 1.6 even though I thought I did. It is actually fixed now. (hopefully that is not a lie).
Just redownload.
Currently it makes Tinkers Construct tools with auto-smelt and Dartcraft tools with grinding or smelting to work properly with VeinMiner.
Can you please explain why when I sneak with sneaking mode on with 0.8 on 1.6.4, no ores are chained?
Thanks
0.0 stare at it
No, it does not.
