Vein miner mod- http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/veinminer/2212658
Make Mining Easier.
Use the command /veinminer mode sneak
Then /veinminer blocklist pickaxe add minecraft:stone
(You can even add to shovel or axe)
I prefer VeinMiner instead of Tree Capitator.
This is an amazing mod which offers an entirely new dimension of tool construction and augmentation which is, in my personal opinion, so entirely superior to Vanilla tool construction and enchanting mechanics that I really don't ever see myself NOT using this mod. Ever.
It already has a lot of in-game documentation, which does contain a lot of very useful information, which I will be referencing rather than repeating to (attempt and probably fail to) reduce the size of this tutorial. However, there's also quite a bit which isn't really clearly spelled out in the in-game reference materials, and some people just do better with a tutorial than with in-game documentation.
Optifine- https://optifine.net/downloads
Optifine prevents lag. If you have a bad pc i would prefer optifine.
I would also prefer optifine because it gives you the ability to zoom in game.
