Mine entire ore veins instantly by holding crouch. This quality-of-life mod makes resource gathering less tedious by breaking all connected ore blocks at once, dropping them conveniently at your position.
Ore Harvester is a quality-of-life mining mod that allows players to mine entire ore veins instantly while crouching. Created by Serilum, this mod significantly speeds up resource gathering by breaking all connected ore blocks with a single swing.
What Does This Mod Do?
When you crouch and mine an ore block, Ore Harvester automatically breaks all connected ore blocks of the same type. All the ores drop at the first block’s position, making collection quick and easy.
Key Features
Instant Vein Mining
Break one ore block while crouching and the entire vein is harvested instantly. No more clicking on each individual block.
Convenient Drop Location
All harvested ore drops at the position of the first block you mined, eliminating the need to chase items around the cave.
Crouch to Activate
The feature only activates when crouching, so you can still mine individual blocks when needed.
Durability Balanced
Each ore in the vein consumes tool durability, keeping the mod balanced and preventing exploitation.
