Tired of holding down the mouse button for hours while strip-mining through endless stone? Automining Mod hands that repetitive work off to your client, letting you set up background mining operations that run automatically while you stay in-game. It works with cobblestone generators, tree farms, and other continuous block sources — meaning you can focus on building, exploring, or managing your base while resources pile up on their own.
Key Features
- Client-side background mining — Automates the mining process without requiring you to leave the game or alt-tab. Your character keeps breaking blocks while you handle other tasks.
- Automatic tool swapping — When your current pickaxe or axe breaks, the mod automatically swaps to another tool of the same type in your hotbar, keeping the operation running smoothly.
- Continuous block source support — Designed to work seamlessly with cobblestone generators, tree farms, and similar setups that constantly produce new blocks to mine.
- Optional auto-attack — Enable automatic attacking while mining to deal with mobs that wander into your work area, so hostile creatures don't interrupt your automated setup.
- Singleplayer and multiplayer compatible — Works in both singleplayer worlds and on multiplayer servers, though you should always check individual server rules before using automation mods.

FAQ
Does Automining Mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer environments. However, since it automates mining, some servers may consider it against their rules. Always check the server's mod policy before using it online.
Will the mod automatically switch to a new pickaxe when mine breaks?
Yes, Automining Mod automatically swaps to another tool of the same type in your hotbar when your current one breaks. Keep several pickaxes or axes in your hotbar to maintain uninterrupted mining.
What kind of farms work best with Automining Mod?
The mod is designed for continuous block sources like cobblestone generators and tree farms — any setup that keeps producing blocks for the mod to break automatically. It pairs well with existing redstone-based farm designs.
