The Vein Miner mechanic is one of the most popular data packs in the Minecraft community. Many players use it in their personal worlds because it makes resource gathering more efficient and enjoyable.
I propose turning this mechanic into an official enchantment that can be found **only in The End** as a rare loot item or through trading with special villagers (End-themed). This would give more purpose to exploring The End dimension and allow for balanced integration of this mechanic into the core game.
🎯 Key Details:
- **Name:** Vein Miner (or a new lore-friendly name like "Cluster Break")
- **Applies to:** Pickaxes and Axes only
- **Tiers:**
- Level I: Breaks up to 4 connected blocks
- Level II: Breaks up to 9 connected blocks
- Level III: Breaks the entire vein (based on type: coal, iron, etc.)
- **Balance:**
- Costs higher XP to enchant/repair
- Cannot be combined with Silk Touch
- Optional risk mechanic (small durability cost per extra block)
🌌 Why this is a great idea:
- Encourages players to visit and explore The End more
- Adds a progression step between early-game grinding and late-game automation
- Keeps the game immersive without needing external mods or data packs
Thank you for considering this idea!
