Chain Mining

Chain Mining
Mine smarter, not harder! Chain Mining is a Fabric mod that lets you harvest entire ore veins and tree trunks with a single block break.

⚡ Key Features
🔗 Chain Mining Break one block to instantly mine all connected blocks of the same type. Works with ores, logs, leaves, and more.

🔧 Optimized Durability Unlike other vein miners, Chain Mining only consumes 1 durability point per chain – no matter how many blocks you mine. Mine 64 diamonds? Still just 1 durability!

✨ Visual Preview White particle effects show the outline of blocks that will be mined before you break them. Know exactly what you’re getting!
