Ore Excavation not working

[SaintGerard]

So I left Ore Excavation keybind set to Grave. For some reason when starting out a modpack I just downloaded, Excavate is not working.

It does not tell me that I need the excavate enchantment. I tried to search for posts with similar issues and tried some of the solutions but nothing has worked. I went into the config folder and updated some of the statements to allow a free hand, changed the config from being always active to when the keybind is pressed.

Nothing, I have no idea what is wrong but I cannot use Ore Excavation. This has happened to me in more than one pack as well. FTB Contiuum and Compact Claustrophobia are the modpacks that it isn't working on if that helps? I have not tried any different modpacks or to remove it from the pack folder and reinstall it manually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you provide the specific version of Ore Excavation you are trying to use and the version of Minecraft you're using it in?

If you have a non-US based keyboard layout, you can try binding it something else to see if that works. Older versions of Minecraft had issues with international keyboard layouts depending on usage (a bug which is outside my control to fix).

[SaintGerard]

So I got the modpack FTB Continuum from the CurseForge Overwolf launcher. It uses the OreExcavation-1.4.133.jar version.

The modpack runs on 1.6.0-1.12.2 MC.

I do use a US based keyboard layout.

[Funwayguy]

Can you try updating to the latest version of Ore Excavation for 1.12.2 which should be 1.4.150 and try that first?

[SaintGerard]

OK, So I updated the Ore Excavation mod and still no change. Only mines one block at a time. Would posting the cfg file help? That way you can tell me if I messed something up when trying to fix this?

[Funwayguy]

If you could post that config, it would help narrow things down a bit, thanks.

[SaintGerard]

It does not accept CFG files here and I am not sure how to get a copy of it in a different format. Here is two snips of the entire CFG File. I hope this helps?

[Funwayguy]

What particular blocks are you trying to use it on? It seems the config you're currently using has it whitelisted to work on only a certain subset of ores and nothing else (kind of a waste in my opinion but each to their own)

[SaintGerard]

I never setup a whitelist so if there is one how do I get rid of it? I wonder if this is the issue I am having on all of my modpacks.

[Funwayguy]

Packs usually ship with whitelists or blacklists to limit what you can/can't use it on. If you want to remove it from that config, remove all the lines between the <> characters under "Block Blacklist" then change "Invert Block Blacklist" to false. That should remove the block restrictions and allow you to use it on everything including trees, stone and dirt.

[SaintGerard]

OK, So I removed all that text as well as changed Invert Block Blacklist to false and again, nothing has changed. I am really at a loss here as to what could be wrong?

[SaintGerard]

I noticed this is another File under the Modpacks config folder. It's a JSON File. Could this be something thats messing with it? I am just ultimately at a loss entirely. I have tried to completely uninstall Overwolf/CurseForge i.e. removing all of its files from my harddrive and reinstalling everything from scratch. Not only does Ore Excavation not work but Veinminer a mod I have never had problems with doesn't work now either.

I am not sure what is happening but no matter what pack it is no matter what keybind I set them too, no matter if I have the Config file set to keybind mode or to have no restrictions. They just don't work any more.

[Funwayguy]

No that's just another minor config that shouldn't have any bearing on activation let alone any other mod. I am genuinely confused as to why so many things would stop working all of a sudden.
