Seamstrike

Seamstrike

Vein mining on a key you choose: an outlined selection, six shapes on the mouse wheel, and hoes, shovels and axes that work the whole selection.

What it does

• Hold the Seamstrike key (` by default) and mine one block: every connected block of the same kind comes with it, up to 64. Any block: ore, stone, logs, leaves, gravel, crops.
• The selection is outlined in the world before you swing, with the block count and the shape name beside the crosshair.
• Nine shapes, picked with the mouse wheel while the key is held: Shapeless (the whole seam), Small Tunnel (1×1), Walking Tunnel (1×2), Small Square (3×3), Large Square (5×5), Large Tunnel (3×3 deep), Mining Tunnel (stairs down), Escape Tunnel (stairs up) and Corridor (3×2).
• Right-click works too: a hoe tills, a shovel makes paths and an axe strips the whole selection. With Sowback installed, one right-click on any plant of a field, ripe or not, harvests and replants every ripe one.
• Nothing is free: the tool wears per block and stops before it breaks, Fortune and Silk Touch apply, hunger drains. Ore needs the right pickaxe.
• The drops go straight into your inventory, and what does not fit lands at your feet; the experience flies to you. The key is in Controls; limits are in config/seamstrike.json.
• Tree felling, no key needed: an axe on a log of a real tree takes the whole tree and its leaves, and a sapling goes back in the ground. Log houses are safe (no natural leaves), and sneaking chops one log. Steps aside when FallingTree is installed.
• An eighth shape, Walking Tunnel: one wide, two high, straight in.
• A ninth shape, Corridor: three wide, two high, straight in.
• Ore in the walls: a tunnel, square or staircase also takes every ore vein it uncovers, within maxBlocks. oreInWalls in config/seamstrike.json.
• Lava guard: tunnels, squares and veins leave every block that holds back lava, so a cut never floods you. lavaGuard in config/seamstrike.json.
• Clear roof: tunnels, squares and staircases also take the sand and gravel resting on them, so the roof never pours in.
• Water guard: a cut also leaves blocks that hold back water, when you start on dry rock (waterGuard in config/seamstrike.json).
• Huge fungi: an axe on a crimson or warped stem fells the whole fungus, its wart blocks and shroomlight too, and the fungus goes back in the ground.
• More kinds in one: sand and red sand are one kind for tunnels and squares, and so is every colour of terracotta.
• Ice and wool: tunnels, squares and staircases treat any ice as one kind and any wool as one kind.

Needs

• Minecraft 26.3, 1.21.11 or 1.21.1 with Fabric Loader + Fabric API, or with NeoForge. Pick the file for your version and loader on the Files tab.
• Installed on both the client and the server (the server does the mining, the client has the key and the count)
