Chain Mining is a lightweight quality-of-life mod for Minecraft (Forge 1.20.1).
Mine entire trees or ore veins instantly — but only if they are naturally generated.
Break one naturally generated log and:
All connected logs of the same type are mined instantly
Chop down a whole tree with a single block break
Supports all vanilla wood types:
Oak
Spruce
Birch
Jungle
Acacia
Dark Oak
Mangrove
Cherry
Crimson
Warped
Break one naturally generated ore block and:
The entire connected ore vein of the same type is mined
Supports:
Overworld ores
Deepslate ores
Nether ores
All vanilla ore types
Chain mining does NOT activate on player-placed blocks.
If you:
Place logs in Creative
Re-place Silk Touch mined ores
Build artificial ore veins or trees
→ The chain reaction will NOT trigger.
This prevents:
Exploits
Accidental base destruction
XP farm abuse
Forge 1.20.1 compatible
Server-side logic (multiplayer safe)
Non-recursive BFS algorithm (stable performance)
128 block safety limit per chain
No config required — works out of the box
Simply break a naturally generated:
🌳 Log
⛏ Ore block
That’s it. The mod handles the rest automatically.
