Old Vein Miner

The only VeinMiner for Minecraft 1.4.7

Old VeinMiner brings chain-mining to Minecraft 1.4.7 — a version no other VeinMiner mod supports.

Hold the activation key (` “ by default) and break a block. The entire connected vein is mined instantly, with drops delivered straight to your inventory.

Features

• 26-directional flood fill — mines diagonally connected blocks, closest first
• All mineable blocks — ores, leaves (with shears), and any connected block type
• Smart drops — compacted into stacks, delivered to inventory (overflow drops at feet)
• Tool durability — consumed per block, stops if your tool breaks
• Hunger cost — proportional to blocks mined (configurable, or disable it)
• Redstone-aware — lit and unlit redstone ore treated as the same vein
• Fully configurable — max blocks, hunger cost, activation key, drop behavior

Configuration

Edit config/ovm.cfg after first launch:

| Option | Default | Description |
|—|—|—|
| maxBlocks | 64 | Max blocks mined per operation |
| hungerPerBlocks | 32 | Blocks per hunger point (0 = free) |
| dropsToInventory | true | Drops go to inventory vs. drop in world |
| activationKey | 41 | LWJGL keycode (41 = ` “) |
