BetterMiner
Toggle-able vein-miner that harvests entire ore veins or tree trunks — stays balanced by scaling your mining time with the vein size.
About this Mod
BetterMiner
One key. Every ore. No exploit.
BetterMiner adds a toggle-able vein-mining mode that lets you harvest entire ore veins or tree trunks in one go — while keeping the game balanced by scaling your mining time with the number of blocks you break.
Features
- Vein Mining — Press
V(rebindable) to toggle vein-mine mode. Break any ore or log and all connected blocks of the same type follow, in a satisfying cascade wave. - Balanced by Design — Mining a 64-block vein takes 64× longer than a single block. No instamine exploits, no server lag spike.
- Configurable Limits — Set a max block cap (1–4096) so you control how far the vein can spread.
- Resource Costs — Optionally consume tool durability and/or hunger proportional to blocks broken.
- Ore & Log Support — Works on all ore tags and all log tags. Enable or disable each independently.
- Diagonal Connections — Optional diagonal neighbour detection for naturally-grown trees.
- Server-Authoritative — All settings live server-side. OPs configure via
/bmconfig; values sync automatically to every client. - In-Game Config Screen — Full YACL-powered GUI (requires YACL).
- Multilingual — English & Turkish included out of the box.

BetterMiner 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BetterMiner compatible with fabric?
BetterMiner officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BetterMiner – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BetterMiner 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.
