# Mine It All
This is a [Minetest](http://www.minetest.net) mod that recreates the functionality of the Minecraft mod Veinminer. It lets you mine full veins of connected blocks in one go.
### Project Status
This project is currently abandoned. I don't play Minetest anymore, and I don't have time to work on this. If you'd like to fork this and continue working on it, let me know and I'll add a link to your fork here.
### Installation
Download this mod, and install it into the appropriate `mods` directory for your installation of Minetest. The directory should be named `mine_it_all`, like this:
```
|-games
|-
|-mods
|-
|-mine_it_all
|-init.lua
|-LICENSE.txt
|-mineable_nodes.lua
|-README.md
```
Then simply open Minetest and enable the Mine It All mod in your world settings.
### Using the Mod
Once the mod is installed and activated, simply mine an ore, a tree, or any other block configred in `mineable_nodes.lua` with an appropriate tool _while sneaking_. This will mine out the block and any connected blocks of the same type and any blocks of the same type connected to _those_ blocks, etc. "Connected" means any block immediately touching the block you mined (a 3x3x3 cube with the block you mined in the center).
You'll immediately get all drops and your tool will be worn down as if you'd manually mined them all, so you're not getting out of the convenience without penalty.
### Configuring the Mod
You can change which blocks are vein mineable using which tools by editing the `mineable_nodes.lua` file. It should be pretty self-explanatory, but the general idea is that file contains a bunch of code blocks that follow this pattern:
```
["default:gravel"] = {
tools = {
["default:shovel_wood"] = true,
["default:shovel_stone"] = true,
["default:shovel_steel"] = true,
["default:shovel_bronze"] = true,
["default:shovel_mese"] = true,
["default:shovel_diamond"] = true,
},
},
```
This particular example enables gravel as a vein mineable block, but only if you use a shovel of the given types (which happens to be all the available default shovels).
You can add new block/tool combinations to enable new vein mineable blocks, remove then to disable, or change up which tools allow vein mining by editing the file appropriately.
### Known Issues
There's one known issue right now. If you mine a large vein with a tool that has very little durability left, the entire vein will still be mined. I will eventually fix that by stopping the mining once the durability of the tool is gone. So, enjoy the free durability while it lasts.
### Future Ideas
Ideally, I'd like to add in additional penalty for mining full veins. I might end up adding a hunger mod as a dependency to Mine It All, then make the player more hungry after mining. That's what vein miner does in Minecraft.
