# Molten Veins 0.7.6 **Now on NeoForge — and vein-mine any mod's ores.** **Mod Loaders:** Fabric **and** NeoForge (first dual-loader release) **Minecraft Versions:** 1.21.8 · 1.21.9 · 1.21.10 · 1.21.11 · 26.1 · 26.1.1 · 26.1.2 · 26.2 **Author:** dark979spider · **License:** MIT --- ## ✨ Highlights ### 🧩 NeoForge support (new!) Molten Veins is now available for **NeoForge**, not just Fabric — this is the first release that ships for both loaders, across every supported Minecraft version. All features are identical on both loaders, and the config file (`config/moltenveins.json`) is shared in the same format, so settings carry over between Fabric and NeoForge. ### ⛏️ Modded ore support (new!) Vein mining now works on ores added by **other mods**, not just vanilla. An ore is recognized if **either**: - it's in the common **`c:ores`** tag (mods that follow convention), **or** - its block id ends in **`_ore` / `_ores`** (the name fallback). That fallback means it works no matter how a mod is coded — even mods that don't add any ore tags at all. Modded ores are also **auto-smelted** when their drop has a vanilla furnace or blast-furnace recipe, using the game's real recipes (so the mod's own drop counts and Fortune behavior are respected). Ores with no smelting recipe simply drop as normal. Two new options in `config/moltenveins.json`, **both on by default**: - `veinMineModdedOres` — vein-mine ores from other mods - `autoSmeltModdedOres` — auto-smelt modded ore drops via recipes ### 🎚️ Smoother Mining Limit slider The Mining Limit slider is now **block-by-block across the full 1–256 range**, instead of snapping between 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256. Dial in exactly the vein size you want. --- ## 🐛 Bug fixes - **XP now drops reliably when mining & smelting.** Ore XP was inconsistent — many ores gave no XP at all (especially on NeoForge). All ore XP is now awarded explicitly: vanilla mining XP for gem ores (coal, diamond, emerald, lapis, redstone, quartz, nether gold) and smelt-compensation XP for smelted ores, on both single-block mining and vein mining. - **Modded ores that give XP now work.** Some mods award XP straight to the player when their ore breaks. Molten Veins was bypassing that, so those ores gave no XP with our features on. We now re-fire the loader's break event for modded ores, so those mods pay out their XP as intended. - **Vein size now matches the slider.** Vein/Excavate mining was capped at ~65 blocks regardless of the configured limit (an internal 32-block search radius was overriding the Mining Limit). The Mining Limit value is now the only cap. ## 🖥️ Other - The config screen's **"Block Toggles"** header now reads *"Block Toggles (modded ores work too!)"* so it's clear at a glance that modded ores are supported.
