Block groups can hold multiple blocks together that will be treated like the same block.<br> /veinminer groups create <name> [<block1>] [<block2>]

All blocks inside one group will be mined together. A block can be in multiple groups. New blocks can be added or removed from groups with the following commands:<br> /veinminer groups edit <name> add-block <block><br> /veinminer groups edit <name> remove-block <block>

Groups can be limited to certain tools, for example group wood can only be mined by axes. If no tool is added to a group, all tools are allowed. If a block is in multiple groups, all tools from those groups are allowed.<br> (If a block is in one unlimited tool group and one limited to axes, only axes work for this block)<br> /veinminer groups edit <name> add-tool <item><br> /veinminer groups edit <name> remove-tool <item>
