Mining on Catcraft

Catcraft offers an enhanced vanilla Minecraft experience, with the addition of veinminer, instant tree chopping, the Cat Canyon Mines, and rare cat crate keys. These features make mining in Minecraft more exciting and efficient! With veinminer, you can hold sneak while breaking a block to instantly mine the whole vein of connected blocks, up to 64 blocks at a time. Veinmining uses up some of your hunger, and you can’t veinmine when you are too hungry. Try it out for a unique and improved Minecraft experience!

Tool	What you can veinmine
Pickaxe	Coal, copper, iron, gold, lapis, redstone and emerald ores (including deepslate variants), nether gold ore, nether quartz ore, glowstone, amethyst clusters, and raw copper, iron and gold blocks. Diamond ore can’t be veinmined.

Instant Tree Chopping

Cutting down trees doesn’t have to be a tedious process! Instant Tree Chopping is on by default: break the bottom log of a tree with an axe, without sneaking, to chop down the whole tree at once. By cutting leaves during the chopping process, you’ll be able to harvest more logs with fewer durability points. This makes gathering tree logs much faster and more efficient! Type /treechop to turn it off or back on.

Cat Canyon Mines

The Cat Canyon Mines is a magical treasure trove of precious gems! Every ten minutes, fresh ores appear, making it an ideal destination for dedicated miners. Unearth coal, iron, gold, emeralds and the occasional diamond - an endless source of riches! Type /mine to get there.

Cat Crate Keys

Cat crate keys can be discovered in emerald ore, diamond ore and gold ore (including deepslate variants). The chances of finding a cat crate key are extremely slim; however, if you are a dedicated miner with a decent pickaxe, finding them is not exceedingly rare. Emerald and diamond ore give you the best chance, and gold ore only rarely drops a key. Keys can only be found in the main Overworld and the Resource world (not in the Cat Canyon Mines), and not when mining with a Silk Touch pickaxe.

Please note that using any form of Xray is strictly prohibited. We have a variety of anti-Xray measures in place to detect those who try to use this kind of modification. Due to the importance of diamonds to the server economy, punishments for Xray are severe.

Silk Spawners

All naturally generated spawners from mob-dungeons can be mined using a diamond or netherite pickaxe, enchanted with silk touch. The spawner goes straight into your inventory. However, member ranks are only able to mine and collect zombie spawners. Experience does not drop from spawners.

• Cat rank can mine zombie spawners.
• Leopard and Cheetah ranks can mine zombie and spider spawners.
• Jaguar rank can mine zombie, spider, cave spider, and skeleton spawners.
• Tiger and Lion ranks can mine zombie, spider, cave spider, skeleton, magmacube, and blaze spawners.
