VeinMining

Features

Hold the Walk key (LEFT ALT) while mining to activate veinmining.

Open the GUI with /vm or use chat commands to configure your Target Mode, Excavation Pattern, Orientation, and Key.

Your tool loses durability based on the total number of blocks broken.

All loot from the entire vein spawns in a single, neat pile at the source block.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

World or Game Won't Start

If you updated the mod and the world no longer loads, the configuration file format may have changed.

Navigate to: %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Saves\YourWorldName\mods

Delete the folder named EineNT_VeinMining.

Rejoin the world; the folder and config will regenerate automatically.

Mod Not Working?

Check for Duplicates: Ensure you only have one version of the .jar file in your %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Mods folder.

Verify Installation: Run /vn. If the GUI opens or chat responds, the mod is active.

Check Status: Run /pl m (requires OP/Admin). If EineNT:VeinMining is disabled, click to enable it.

Tool Requirement: By default, the mod only works if you are holding a valid tool (Pickaxe, Axe, or Shovel).

How to Edit Configs

Configurations are stored per world. To edit them manually:

Go to: %APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Saves\YourWorldName\mods\EineNT_VeinMining

Open VeinMining.json with a text editor.

Apply changes by restarting the server or running /pl reload EineNT:VeinMining.

"Failed to reload plugin" Error

If you see a message in chat saying "Failed to reload plugin EineNT:VeinMining!" during startup or reload, you can usually ignore this. The plugin most likely loaded correctly despite the warning message.
