About
Liteminer
Mine an entire vein of ore, chop an entire tree or break any group of blocks by holding a hotkey. A veinmining mod for Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt.
Requires Forge Config API Port.
Versions before Minecraft 1.21.9 (1.21.8 and below) require Architectury API.
How To Use It
Hold the Tilde/Grave key, look at a block, and mine it. The outlines should show what you're about to mine.
There are a few shapes you can mine with and to switch between them hold the Liteminer key and scroll your mouse wheel.
The available shapes are: Shapeless (mines connected blocks), 3x3, Small Tunnel, Staircase Up and Staircase Down.
Current Plan
I've completed all the features I wanted to add to the mod when I started the project, and I'm happy with how it turned out. The next steps are fixing bugs that might come up and adding new features that I think of or that are requested by the community starting with the Forge port.
