It works on many Minecraft Java versions, but in this guide we used version 1.21.5 as an example.
Troubleshoot
Minecraft crashes when I try to load the game
Make sure you installed the right version of Veinminer for your Minecraft version. Also, double-check that Forge or Fabric is installed correctly and that you included all needed dependencies.
I don’t see the mod working in-game
Try crouching while breaking the block. Veinminer only works when you’re holding the crouch key.
My blocks don’t break all at once
The mod might not recognize the block type. Try breaking a block that’s directly touching others of the same kind, like coal or logs.
