Crackt makes vein-mining balanced and simple, just keep mining a progressively shrinking block and the whole vein will eventually crumble! The goal is to make vein mining feel more vanilla friendly, removing the cheaty-ness of tradition vein miners.
How to use
- Install on both the client and server (if playing multiplayer)
- Approach a vein of ore, and mine a block - you'll see it pop right back, but smaller, just continue mining that block until it all comes crumbling down!
- Exceptionally large veins can require up to 24 breaks, and veins can scale up to 128 ores.
- Multiple players can contribute to the mining progress.
- All players will see the ore chunk progressively get smaller and smaller.
- There's no time limit, or anything to worry about - logout, save the game, you can always come back and finish mining.
- Holding shift allows you mine individual ores, or backout of mining and retrieve the ores you already destroyed by shift breaking the ore chunk block.
- All enchantments, and durability calculations are 1:1 applied as if you had hand mined the entire chunk, keeping it balanced and mostly vanilla.
- Developers can include the tag
c:oresand their modded ores will automatically work with Crackt.
Requirements
- Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
- Java 21

- Support for Minecraft 26.3.**
- [Jade](https://modrinth.com/mod/jade) support is now enabled on 26.3.** Every earlier
hovering a cracking cluster again shows the ore you're actually breaking — its real name
and icon instead of the placeholder block — along with your exact swing count (
4/10).Jade is entirely optional. It is not bundled and not required; without it nothing changes.
- Support for Minecraft 26.3-pre-3.**
Note: this is a pre-release build. [Jade](https://modrinth.com/mod/jade) has not published a
release for 26.3 yet, so this build ships without the Jade tooltip — everything else works
as normal. It will be enabled as soon as Jade supports 26.3.

- Cracking clusters now match the ore they came from.** Every cluster inherited iron ore's
was not good enough to break — mining coal with a wooden pickaxe stalled the moment the
first block cracked. Clusters now break at exactly the speed of the ore they are standing
in for, including deepslate variants and modded ores.
- Under-tier pickaxes no longer collect ore they cannot harvest.** Cracking a vein skipped
whole vein through its cluster. Ore your pickaxe cannot harvest now breaks exactly as it
does in vanilla: no cluster, no drops.
