⛏️ Azmine

Formerly Arctic’s Vein Miner — a modern, high-performance multi-block mining mod

Forge 1.20.1 · NeoForge 1.21.1 · Client & Server

Azmine is the rebranded successor to Arctic’s Vein Miner, now maintained under Azora Development. Mine veins, tunnels, columns, strips, and structured areas with fast performance, configurable limits, multiplayer support, and clean visual feedback.

🚀 Why Azmine?

• ⚡ Fast bulk mining — optimized multi-block breaking without per-block audio spam
• 🧠 Multiple mining patterns — vein, column, strip, tunnel, and square
• 🛠️ Deep configuration — full TOML control for players, servers, and modpacks
• 🎮 Clean controls — hold-to-mine with easy Alt + scroll pattern cycling
• 👁️ Preview highlighting — see selected blocks before mining
• 🌐 Multiplayer-ready logic — designed for client/server use
• 🔁 Legacy config migration — old AVM configs are migrated automatically when possible

Built as a modern, lightweight alternative to older vein mining implementations.

⚠️ Rebrand Notice

Azmine was formerly known as Arctic’s Vein Miner.

Important changes:

• Mod name changed from Arctic’s Vein Miner to Azmine
• Mod ID changed from avm to azmine
• Config file changed from avm-common.toml to azmine-common.toml
• Old avm-common.toml configs are migrated automatically once on first Azmine launch when possible
• Remove the old AVM jar before installing Azmine

✨ Mining Patterns

⛏️ Vein

• Mines connected blocks of the exact same block type
• Uses 26-direction neighbor detection
• Configurable scan depth
• Respects maximum blocks per operation

Perfect for ores, logs, and large same-block clusters.

🌲 Column

• Mines a vertical stack of the same exact block type
• Searches upward and downward from the target block
• Useful for trees, kelp, bamboo-like columns, and vertical block pillars

🧱 Strip

• Mines a 1-wide × 2-tall strip forward
• Uses the block you click as the top of each 2-block column
• Uses tunnel length for forward distance
• Good for branch mining and controlled strip mining

🕳️ Small Tunnel

• Mines a straight 1×1 tunnel
• Direction based on where you are looking
• Works vertically and horizontally

🏗️ Large Tunnel

• Mines a 3×3 tunnel
• Fixed length of 10 blocks
• Hardness-aware to avoid breaking blocks harder than the starting block

🧩 Square

• Mines a square area on the face you hit
• Size configurable from 3×3 up to 15×15
• Odd sizes only
• Hardness-aware to prevent unintended block breaks

🎮 Controls

Default controls:

• Activate Azmine: ` / grave accent / backtick
• Cycle Pattern: Hold activation key + Left Alt, then scroll

Usage:

1. Hold Activate
2. Look at a block
3. Left-click to mine
4. Extra blocks break according to the selected pattern
5. Release Activate to return to normal mining

🧠 How It Works

• The selected block starts the mining operation.
• Extra blocks are calculated using the selected pattern.
• Drops attempt to go directly into your inventory.
• If your inventory is full, remaining drops fall naturally.
• Tool durability is applied with a configurable multiplier.
• Creative mode ignores durability.
• Sound and particles are clustered to avoid per-block spam.

Azmine intentionally keeps vein mining controlled:

• Veins match exact block IDs by default
• No ore-tag or log-tag grouping by default
• No per-block break sound spam
• No full vanilla destroyBlock() call for every extra block
