Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores
If you have ever pointed a quarry at an AllTheModium vein and watched it stall, you already know the frustration. AllTheModium deliberately disabled fake player mining for its ores, which means your quarries, automated drills, and FTB UltiMine setups simply refuse to touch them. The Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores add-on fixes exactly that. It is a small, focused mod that hands automation back to the player, and once it is running you will wonder how you ever managed a late-game ATM base without it.
What This Add-On Actually Changes
Under the hood, AllTheModium registers its ore blocks with a hardness value of -1. In Minecraft terms, that makes them technically unbreakable, and the mod handles player mining through custom events instead. Machines and fake players never trigger those events, so they get blocked. Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores uses mixins to adjust that hardness to a workable value, letting quarries and other automated systems break the blocks normally.
The affected ores are:
- AllTheModium Ore
- Vibranium Ore
- Unobtainium Ore
- Ancient Stone
Because the hardness is now a real number, veinmining works on these blocks too. If you run a veinminer mod or a modpack with vein mining built in, you can finally strip an entire AllTheModium cluster in one action instead of chipping away block by block. That single change saves an enormous amount of time in the mid to late game, when you are hunting hundreds of ore blocks for alloys and high-tier gear.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Minecraft Forge
The add-on is built for Minecraft Forge. It targets the 1.20.1 era of AllTheModium, which is where most ATM9 and ATM9-style packs live. If you are running a different Forge version and need a port, the developer accepts requests through the project's GitHub issue tracker, so it is worth asking if your pack is stuck on another release.
Compatibility Notes
This is a companion mod, not a standalone content mod. You need AllTheModium installed first, and it should match the version the add-on was compiled against. Load order is not usually a problem, but if you see crashes on startup, double-check that both mods are on the same Forge build. The mixins approach means it patches existing behavior rather than adding new blocks, so it plays nicely with most packs that already include AllTheModium.
How to Install Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores
Installation follows the standard Forge mod workflow:
- Confirm your Minecraft version and Forge build match the add-on's requirements.
- Place the mod jar file into your mods folder alongside AllTheModium.
- Launch the game once to let Forge load and register the mixins.
- Test with a quarry or veinminer on a small AllTheModium patch before scaling up.
If you would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles it for you. Its add-on catalog lists Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores directly, so you can install it with a single click and let the launcher keep it updated when new builds drop. That is a genuine convenience when you maintain several modpacks at once.
Why It Matters for Automation Builds
AllTheModium, Vibranium, and Unobtainium sit at the top of the progression tree in most ATM packs. They gate your best tools, armor, and machines, and the demand for them is relentless. Without fake player mining, every ore block has to be collected by hand, which turns resource gathering into a grind that scales badly once your base grows. Restoring quarry support changes the entire rhythm of play: you set up your mining operation, route the output into your processing line, and get back to building.
Veinmining support is the other half of the benefit. Even players who enjoy manual mining usually do not enjoy spending twenty minutes on a single ore cluster. One activation, one full vein, and you are done. It is a quality-of-life improvement that fits naturally into how modern modpacks expect you to play.
Final Thoughts
Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores is one of those tiny mods that quietly solves a big problem. It does not add new content, new textures, or new mechanics. It simply removes an artificial barrier so your machines can do what machines are supposed to do. If you are ready to download Mineable/Minable AllTheModium Ores and put your quarries back to work, grab the Forge build for your Minecraft version, drop it in your mods folder, and let your automation finally reach the ores that matter most.
