Vein Miner is a blast pickaxe enchant that, every so often, breaks all blocks of the same type as the one you mined within 8 blocks. It is available from Prestige 0.
Effect#
- Each time you mine a block, Vein Miner rolls a chance of 0.05% per level, up to 50% at level 1,000.
- When it triggers, the game looks at every block in a sphere of radius 8 around the mined block (a sphere is about 17 blocks across) and breaks the ones that are the same type as the block you mined. A coal ore block clears the coal ore nearby, a stone block clears the stone nearby.
- The blocks do not have to touch each other, and nothing else in the sphere is broken.
- Only blocks that belong to your mine are broken.
- Blocks broken this way pay out like blocks you mine yourself: tokens go to your balance and drops go to your backpack, and Fortune and Token Finder apply to them. Blocks broken by an enchant never roll for other enchants, so enchants do not chain.
- It can also trigger in prestige mines.
Levels#
| Level | Chance per block mined |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.05% (1 in 2,000) |
| 10 | 0.5% (1 in 200) |
| 50 | 2.5% (1 in 40) |
| 100 | 5% (1 in 20) |
| 250 | 12.5% (1 in 8) |
| 500 | 25% (1 in 4) |
| 750 | 37.5% (1 in 3) |
| 1,000 | 50% (1 in 2) |
The radius is the same at every level. The level only changes how often it triggers.
A chat message ("Your Vein Miner enchant activated!") confirms each trigger unless you have switched enchant activation messages off in your options.
Cost and unlocking#
It is available from the start and shows as Common in the enchant menu. Level 1 costs 25,000 tokens, and each further level costs more, following the formula on Pickaxe Enchant Costs. Your purchase cap is level 300 at Prestige 0 and reaches the full 1,000 levels at Prestige 5 (Pickaxe Enchant Caps). The maximum level does not change with rebirth.
Notes#
- A mine mixes several block types and only the ones matching the block you mined break, so mining a common block type breaks more than mining a rare one.
- To break everything in an area regardless of type, use Explosive or Glitch Bomb.
