Manic Miner

The Manic Miner mod is a tool for bulk resource mining in Minecraft. To activate the function, simply crouch and start mining the desired block. There is also an optional feature to use a special enchantment.

Operation Features

The mod operates primarily on the server side, allowing it to be used in multiplayer without clients needing to install it. However, to use hotkeys (configured on the server), players will need to install the mod on the client, as the server does not track key presses.

Three Mining Modes

Manic Miner offers three different bulk mining methods:

• Ore vein mining - allows extracting up to 128 ore blocks at once. Additionally removes one layer of blocks around the ore for easier resource collection. Supports all types of ores, including Nether ores.

• Bulk mining of common blocks - perfect for creating tunnels and large-scale construction. Mines up to 128 blocks of the same type in a cylindrical area in front of the player. Works with common building materials: stone, andesite, deepslate, netherrack, end stone, tuff, ice, and others.

• Tree cutting - allows cutting down an entire tree with one strike (maximum 192 blocks).

Important Limitations

For bulk mining to work, you must use the appropriate tool: pickaxe for ores, shovel for dirt, axe for wood, etc. The mod accounts for tool durability - when it runs out, bulk mining stops.

Configuration Options

The mod offers extensive customization options:

• The number of blocks for each mining type can be adjusted
• Removal of additional blocks around ore veins can be disabled
• Option for mandatory enchantment requirement is available (disabled by default)

Configuration Parameters

{
  "mustSneak": true,
  "requireHotkey": false,
  "allowCommonBlocks": true,
  "removeCommonBlocksAroundOre": true,
  "requireEnchantment": false,
  "maxVeinSize": 128,
  "maxCommonSize": 128,
  "maxWoodSize": 192,
  "summonItems": true
}

mustSneak: if enabled, the player must crouch for bulk mining. Otherwise, regular mining will automatically be bulk mining. Defaults to true.

requireHotkey: if enabled, the player must press the assigned hotkey (default "V") to activate bulk mining. Defaults to false.

allowCommonBlocks: allows bulk mining of common blocks (stone, granite, deepslate, etc.). In this mode, mining works like creating a tunnel in the available block type. Defaults to true.

removeCommonBlocksAroundOre: if enabled, removes common blocks around ore veins to create more space and easier ore collection. Defaults to true.

requireEnchantment: determines whether the "Manic Mining" enchantment must be present on the tool for bulk mining to work. Defaults to false.

maxVeinSize: maximum number of blocks to mine in an ore vein. Defaults to 128.

maxCommonSize: maximum number of blocks to mine in common block mode. Defaults to 128.

maxWoodSize: maximum number of wood blocks when bulk cutting trees. Set higher than standard values since trees can contain a lot of wood. Defaults to 192.

summonItems: determines whether all mined blocks should be teleported to the initial mining location.
