MiningUtils Mod for Minecraft

The MiningUtils mod provides useful utilities and blocks that simplify and automate the resource extraction process in Minecraft.

Mod Features

The mod adds three main types of blocks for task automation:

• Vertical Miner - an automated mining tool
• Block Breaker - a device for automatic block breaking
• Block Placer - a mechanism for automatic block placement

All these blocks require power to function, with the Block Breaker and Block Placer additionally requiring redstone signals for activation.

Vertical Miner

This block creates a 3×3 mining shaft directly in front of it, which can be expanded up to 9×9 using special upgrades. The device consumes energy during operation, with both working speed and power consumption configurable through the configuration file. An upgrade is also available that allows the miner to operate only when receiving a redstone signal.

Block Breaker and Block Placer

The Block Breaker breaks any block in front of it when it receives a redstone signal. Collected resources are stored in the block's internal container and will drop to the ground when full. Energy consumption levels can be adjusted via the config file.

The Block Placer works similarly to the Block Breaker, but instead of breaking blocks, it places blocks from its inventory. Currently, upgrades are not available for these devices.

The mod also includes gold detection methods and other useful features for more efficient resource gathering.
