Mining on CatCraft works like vanilla Minecraft, with a few extras that save time. These are veinminer, instant tree chopping, the Cat Canyon Mines and rare cat crate keys.

Veinminer

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’re too hungry.

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.
Shovel	Gravel, clay, sand, red sand, concrete powder, snow, powder snow, soul sand, soul soil, mud and muddy mangrove roots.
Axe	Logs and wood, crimson and warped stems, mangrove roots, pumpkins, melons and mushroom blocks.
Shears	Leaves, wool and cobwebs.
Hoe	Wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, mushrooms, moss, sculk and sponges.
Any of the tools above	Ice, packed ice and blue ice.

Veinminer commands

Command	What it does
/veinminer mode sneak	Veinmine only while sneaking. This is the default.
/veinminer mode stand	Veinmine only while standing.
/veinminer mode always	Veinmine while standing or sneaking.
/veinminer mode none	Turn veinminer off.
/veinminer toggle hoe	Turn veinmining with a hoe on or off.
/veinminer toggle shears	Turn veinmining with shears on or off.
/veinminer toggle shovel	Turn veinmining with a shovel on or off.
/veinminer toggle pickaxe	Turn veinmining with a pickaxe on or off.
/veinminer toggle axe	Turn veinmining with an axe on or off.

Instant tree chopping

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. The leaves are cut as the tree comes down, so you get more logs for less durability.

Type /treechop to turn it off or back on.

Cat Canyon Mines

The Cat Canyon Mines refill with fresh ores every ten minutes, so there’s always something to mine. You’ll find coal, iron, gold, emeralds and the occasional diamond. Type /mine to get there.

Cat crate keys

Cat crate keys can be found in emerald ore, diamond ore and gold ore (including deepslate variants). The chance from any one ore is very small, but dedicated miners with a good pickaxe find them fairly often.

• 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.

Using any form of Xray is not allowed. The server has several anti-Xray measures to detect players who use it, and because diamonds are so important to the server economy, the punishments for Xray are severe.

Silk spawners

Naturally generated spawners from mob dungeons can be mined with a diamond or netherite pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. The spawner goes straight into your inventory, and no experience drops.

Which spawners you can mine depends on your rank.

• 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, magma cube and blaze spawners.
