Block Groups - Advanced Settings
Block groups can hold multiple blocks together that will be treated like the same block.
/veinminer groups create <name> [<block1>] [<block2>]
All blocks inside one group will be mined together. A block can be in multiple groups. New blocks can be added or removed from groups with the following commands:
/veinminer groups edit <name> add-block <block>
/veinminer groups edit <name> remove-block <block>
Groups can be limited to certain tools, for example group wood can only be mined by axes. If no tool is added to a group, all tools are allowed. If a block is in multiple groups, all tools from those groups are allowed.
(If a block is in one unlimited tool group and one limited to axes, only axes work for this block)
/veinminer groups edit <name> add-tool <item>
/veinminer groups edit <name> remove-tool <item>
You can also modify the group file directly inside .../veinminer/default_groups.json, here are some useful templates by @DereC4:

Some Advice
- To veinmine, your pickaxe must be able to mine the ore in normal conditions (unless disabled in V2)
- While Veinminer is running very lightweight, mining unnatural big veins can lag the client and the server through the amount of items
