About this Mod
⛏️ Veinminer Hotkey
Addon for the popular Veinminer mod/plugin that adds a custom hotkey, veinmine preview & pattern control. As long as this addon is installed, veinmining is only possible with the hotkey pressed (still respecting block rules and settings).
Hold Hotkey: Y or Z (can be changed in client controls, default is depending on your key layout)
Toggle Hotkey: unbound (bind in client controls)
⚠ Important
Veinminer needs to be installed on the server too for this addon to work! If playing in single-player, install it on your client too.
Works together with the enchantment addon if installed.

⚙ Settings
Pattern selection can be changed by holding the hotkey and scrolling up/down.
Additionally holding shift allows changing the mining depth/width.
Pattern Config Hotkey: O (configure, add, remove patterns to your liking. Accessible via mod menu as well)
The server can configure client behavior with the following options. The client mod will automatically disable itself if the server does not have Veinminer installed.
Command: /veinminer settings client ...
