Veinminer Enchantment Mod (1.21.11) – Efficient Resource Gathering

Veinminer Enchantment is a utility addon mod that adds a custom "Veinmine" enchantment to enchanting tables, restricting veinmining to only tools that carry the enchantment, for Minecraft Fabric and Quilt. It works as a companion to the popular Veinminer mod, giving server owners and players fine-grained control over who can veinmine and when.

Veinmining — the ability to break an entire vein of ores or a whole tree with a single block break — is one of the most beloved quality-of-life features in modded Minecraft. But there is a catch: when every player can veinmine everything from the moment they join, it removes a layer of progression and can trivialize early-game resource gathering. That is the exact problem Veinminer Enchantment solves. Created by Miraculixx, this addon has been downloaded over 12.8 million times, proving that a massive portion of the community wants veinmining to feel earned rather than handed out for free. By gating the ability behind an enchantment you discover at the enchanting table, this mod strikes a balance between convenience and meaningful gameplay progression.

Key Features of Veinminer Enchantment

• Custom Veinmine Enchantment — Instead of allowing all tools to veinmine by default, this addon introduces a dedicated "Veinmine" enchantment that must be applied to a tool first. This means players need to invest experience levels and visit an enchanting table before unlocking the ability, adding a satisfying sense of progression to the mining experience.
• Enchanting Table Integration — The Veinmine enchantment appears naturally at the enchanting table alongside vanilla enchantments like Efficiency and Fortune. You do not need special crafting recipes or obscure rituals — it slots into the existing enchantment system seamlessly, so players discover it through normal gameplay.
• Configurable Enchantment Rarity — Server owners and modpack creators can adjust the weight value to control how frequently the enchantment appears in the table. A lower weight makes it rare and prestigious, while a higher weight makes it easier to obtain. This flexibility lets you tune the enchantment for your specific server economy.
• Adjustable Level Cost Range — The min_cost and max_cost settings determine the level range at which the enchantment shows up. By default it appears between levels 15 and 65, but you can narrow or widen this window to match your desired difficulty curve.
• Anvil Cost Control — When combining tools on an anvil, the enchantment adds a configurable level cost (default: 7). This prevents players from cheaply stacking the enchantment onto every tool they own and keeps the anvil economy balanced.
• Full Block Rule Compatibility — The addon respects all existing Veinminer block rules and settings. If your Veinminer config only allows ores to be veinmined, those same restrictions apply when using the enchantment. You get an extra layer of control without losing any existing configuration.
• Multi-Platform Support — Available as both a Fabric/Quilt mod and a datapack, you can run it on client-modded setups or pure server-side datapack installations. This dual format makes it accessible whether you run a heavily modded server or a lightweight vanilla-plus experience.

How to Install Veinminer Enchantment

1. Install Fabric Loader or Quilt Loader for your Minecraft version (1.21 through 26.1 are supported).
2. Download and install the base Veinminer mod — this addon requires it to function and will not work on its own.
3. Download the Veinminer Enchantment file matching your Minecraft version from the download section below.
4. Place the downloaded .jar file into your .minecraft/mods folder (or your server's mods folder for server-side installation).
5. Launch Minecraft and verify the enchantment appears at the enchanting table. To customize rarity or cost, edit the veinminer.json file inside the mod's jar using a zip utility like 7-Zip.

Requirements & Compatibility

What's New

Pros and Cons

Alternatives to Veinminer Enchantment

• Veinminer — The base veinmining mod that this addon extends. Use it standalone if you want veinmining available to all players without an enchantment requirement.
• Treecapitator — Focuses specifically on tree chopping, letting you fell entire trees by breaking the bottom log. A simpler alternative if you only need tree veinmining.
• Ore Excavation — Another approach to mass-mining that offers its own configuration options and keybind-based activation rather than an enchantment system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Veinminer Enchantment work without the base Veinminer mod?

No — Veinminer Enchantment is an addon that requires the base Veinminer mod to be installed. Without it, the addon has no veinmining system to gate behind the enchantment, and it will not function at all.

Can I use Veinminer Enchantment on a server without clients needing the mod?

Yes — the datapack version works entirely server-side, so players do not need to install anything on their client. For the Fabric/Quilt mod version, check whether your specific setup requires client-side installation, as this may depend on your Veinminer configuration.

How do I make the Veinmine enchantment appear more often at the enchanting table?

Increase the weight value in the veinminer.json configuration file. The default weight is 1, which makes it quite rare. Setting it to 5 or 10 will make the enchantment show up significantly more often alongside other enchantments.

Is Veinminer Enchantment available for Forge or NeoForge?

No — Veinminer Enchantment currently supports only Fabric and Quilt mod loaders. There is no Forge or NeoForge version available at this time. Players on those loaders should look into alternative veinmining solutions.

Does this mod affect server performance?

The mod itself appears to be lightweight since it only adds an enchantment check before allowing veinmining. The actual performance impact of veinmining depends on your base Veinminer configuration, such as the maximum number of blocks broken per action, rather than this addon specifically.
