Discord
KoFi

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.

Keybord Hotkey

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.

Thank you for the support!

Tags

Item Tags

  • liteminer:excluded_tools - items in this tag can't be used for litemining (applies to main hand slot)
  • liteminer:included_tools - if require_tool is true in server config, by default only "tool" items can be used (tiered items with durability); this can be used to allow extra items

Block Tags

  • liteminer:excluded_blocks - blocks in this tag may never be litemined
  • liteminer:block_whitelist - if this tag is non-empty, then only blocks in this tag may be litemined

Note: these tags are compatible with the FTB Ultimine tags, so you can use the same tags for both mods if you already have a setup you like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Liteminer server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Liteminer compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Liteminer officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Liteminer – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Liteminer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
