VeinMiner
Mine entire ore veins in one click. Save hours.
What It Does
Hold a configurable hotkey (default: `~`) and mine any ore block — the entire connected vein breaks instantly. Works with any pickaxe and any ore type. No more clicking each individual block in a 20-block ore vein.
Why It's Essential
Mining is one of the most time-consuming activities in Terraria. Over a full playthrough, you'll spend hours just holding left-click on ore veins. VeinMiner turns that into one keypress per vein. It respects your pickaxe power (can't mine hardmode ores with a pre-HM pickaxe), so there's no balance issue — it just removes the tedious part.
Works For More Than Ore
VeinMiner can be configured to work on any block type — trees, cacti, gemstone walls, hellstone, and even background walls. The default settings only cover ores, but you can add any block to the whitelist.
Who Should Use It
- Every Terraria player who values their time
- Especially useful in Hardmode when you need to mine new ores quickly
- No reason not to install it — completely client-side, zero balance impact
