## Zone Miner is a NeoForge mod that adds configurable area mining.<\/p>\n
Switch between simple mining, 3x3x3, 5x5x5, or a fully custom mining shape, all while keeping vanilla-style durability handling and tool restrictions.<\/p>\n
### Features<\/p>\n
– Multiple mining modes:
\n – `1×1`
\n – `3x3x3`
\n – `5x5x5`
\n – `Custom`
\n– In-game keybinds to switch modes and open the custom area settings
\n– Mining direction follows the player’s look direction
\n– Live white block outline preview before breaking
\n– Only breaks extra blocks when the held tool is appropriate
\n– Ore vein support
\n– Vanilla block breaking logic is preserved for drops and interactions<\/p>\n
## Two Versions Available<\/p>\n
This project is available in two separate versions for NeoForge :<\/p>\n
### Zone Miner
\nThe standard version uses `legacy durability`.
\nYour tool loses durability based on the number of blocks actually broken.
\nYou’ll find it here!<\/p>\n
### Zone Miner Single Use
\nThis version keeps the same mining features, but only uses `one durability point` for the whole area break.
\n_You’re on the right page!_<\/p>\n
## Controls<\/p>\n
– `Y` : Cycle mining mode
\n– `U` : Open custom area settings<\/p>\n
## Custom Area Settings<\/p>\n
The custom mode lets you configure:<\/p>\n
– Left
\n– Right
\n– Up
\n– Down
\n– Depth<\/p>\n
