🎉 MAJOR UPDATE: Enhanced Mining System & Multiplayer Fix

🔧 Critical Fixes

• ✅ FIXED: Multiplayer Compatibility - Vein mining now works perfectly on dedicated servers (was previously single-player only)
• ✅ FIXED: Tool Validation - Prevents inappropriate tool usage (wooden pickaxe can no longer mine diamond ore)
• ✅ FIXED: Staircase Mining - Completely redesigned with proper measurements and player direction awareness

🚀 New Mining Modes (6 Total)

• ⛏️ Vein Mining - Smart connected block detection (improved algorithm)
• ⚒️ 3x3 Tunnel - Direction-aware tunnel mining that follows where you're facing
• ⛏️ 5x5 Excavation - Large area clearing for big projects
• 🏗️ Staircase Mining - Proper 1-wide, 2-high staircase descent
• ⚡ Branch Mining - Efficient pattern with main tunnel + side branches for ore hunting
• ⬇️ Shaft Mining - Vertical 2x2 shaft for deep mining

🧠 Smart Features

• Player Direction Detection - All patterns adapt to where you're looking
• Tool Compatibility System - Only mines blocks your current tool can handle
• Safety Protection - Automatically skips dangerous blocks (lava, TNT, spawners, bedrock)
• Ore Priority System - Recognizes and prioritizes valuable blocks

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

• Enhanced Mode Messages - Colored descriptions with icons for each mining mode
• Removed Spam - No more annoying toggle messages when pressing/releasing V key
• Better Key Descriptions - Clearer tooltips and mode explanations
• Rich Formatting - Color-coded feedback for better visibility

⚙️ Technical Improvements

• Event-Based Architecture - Replaced problematic mixins with Fabric events for better compatibility
• Server-Side Logic - All mining calculations now happen server-side for multiplayer stability
• Memory Management - Automatic cleanup when players disconnect
• Performance Optimized - Improved block detection algorithms

🛡️ Safety & Stability

• Dangerous Block Protection - Won't mine bedrock, obsidian, lava, water, or other hazardous blocks
• Mining Level Validation - Respects vanilla mining requirements (iron pickaxe for diamond, etc.)

📋 Usage

• V Key: Toggle vein mining on/off (hold down while mining)
• M Key: Cycle through 6 different mining modes
• Direction Matters: Face the direction you want to mine for tunnel/staircase modes
• Tool Aware: Only compatible blocks will be mined based on your current tool

✅ Universal Block Support

Vein Mine now works on all breakable blocks by default (placeable & mineable).

Uses automatic detection based on Minecraft's material system and tool requirements — no need to list individual blocks manually.

Compatible with all tool types (pickaxes, shovels, axes, etc.).

💡 Tip: For optimal mining of similar blocks (like nearby ores of the same type), use MODE_CLUSTER. It efficiently mines connected matching blocks, perfect for ore veins, wood clusters, and similar block groups.

🔧 Improvements

Enhanced Block Detection:

Fixed issues with grass, dirt, and plant-like blocks. Better detection for stone variants (e.g., granite, diorite, modded stones). Improved recognition for wood and logs (supports all wood types including modded ones). Tool Handling Enhancements: More accurate durability calculations.

Improved recognition for wood and logs (supports all wood types including modded ones).

Tool Handling Enhancements:

More accurate durability calculations.

Improved tool-type matching:

Pickaxe → Stone & ores

Axe → Wood & logs

✅ New Features Added Cluster Mode:

Mines only similar blocks, just like VeinMine, but with a much larger range.

Can break up to 64 connected blocks of the same type at once.

Great for quickly clearing large veins of ores, dirt, gravel, etc.

Improved Vein Mining Behavior:

You can now Vein Mine any block that normally drops an item when broken, even if the tool is not optimal.

Example: Break dirt with your hand, or gravel with any tool.

Important: Blocks that require a specific tool to drop (like stone and ores) still need the correct tool.

Added support for the following languages: Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Chinese (Simplified).

Fixed an issue where VeinMine modes were not working properly on servers.

Limited Mining by Durability

Mining is now limited based on the tool's remaining durability, ensuring it won't break. Removed the durability warning message to reduce unnecessary chat spam.

Direct-to-Inventory Collection

New keybind ('I' by default) added to toggle direct item collection. When enabled, blocks mined with vein mining go directly into the player's inventory. If the inventory is full, mined items will drop normally.

"Staircase Up" Mode – Creates an upward staircase while mining, allowing for gradual ascent.

"Staircase Down" Mode – Creates a downward staircase while mining, making descent smoother without jumping.

Added support for using staircase modes on servers.
