About this mod Author’s original text
Vein Mining
Mine entire ore deposits, including buried parts, on your own or together with friends.
- Hold Left Alt while aiming at ore with a pickaxe equipped to start mining.
- Double-tap Alt to keep mining automatically. Press Alt again to stop.
- Work together on the same deposit with a shared progress bar.
- Pause, repair your pickaxe and continue without losing progress.
- Mine normally whenever you want—ordinary hits also reduce the remaining work.
- When the bar is full, the remaining deposit breaks and drops its resources.
Supports copper, tin, iron scrap piles, silver, flametal and other supported deposits.
Mining speed: Adjustable from 1–10, default 3. In multiplayer, the server controls this setting. More miners speed up the job, with reduced bonuses for larger groups.
Requirements: BepInEx and Jötunn. Install Vein Mining on both the server and all players' clients. No other mining mod is required.
Tested with Valheim 1.0.16. This is an early release; testing with separate clients on a dedicated server is still ongoing.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
