Introduction​

RailMiner is based on an old bukkit plugin RailDriver. It allows players to create a automated mining machine that will mine tunnels and gather resources for them. By default it consumes coal and all the required materials to make the road and rails, This can be disabled in the config.

 

 

Building​

The Miners require the following materials:

  • 18-19 Iron blocks
  • 9 Diamond blocks
  • 9 Sticky pistons
  • 4 Redstone dust
  • 2 Dispensers
  • 2 Furnaces
  • 2 Repeaters
  • 1-3 Chest
  • 1 Sign
  • 1 Lever

Layer One

 

 

Layer Two

The sign must contain the following lines:

  • [RailMiner]
  • Start

Layer Three
 
Fuel​
If you have fuel enabled both furnaces will require coal to run. If you have recipes enabled the chest must contain the following items:
  • Stone brick
  • Iron ingot
  • Sticks
  • Redstone
  • Coal
  • Gold ingots

Protection System


To enable protection on your miner add [Protected] to the third line of the sign as shown below.

 

This will protect the miner from other people stopping it while it is mining. You can manage who can access your protected miners by using these commands:
- /railminer friend add <player> - Add a player to your miners
- /railminer friend del <player> - Remove a player from your miners
- /railminer friend list - Show who has access to your miners

 

Alias: /rm f
Permission: railminer.friends


Upgrades


Upgrades are placed in the center chest in the top layer between the pistons, they are used to improve the performance of the miner. Each recipe has a different crafting recipe that can be changed in the config, the default recipes are shown below.

 

Speed 

Increases how fast it mines/moves

 

 

Fortune 

Applies the fortune enchantment to a miner

 

 

Silk Touch 

Applies the silk touch enchantment to a miner

 

Liquid Protection

Protect the miner from lava and water

 

Fuel Efficiency 

Decreases the usage of fuel

 

 

Extra Storage 

Allows for extra storage rather then throw the items on the ground

NOTE:

For extra storage the back two dispensers must be replaced with chests
How it works​
When the miner first begins it places down two pillars that contain a torch and a redstone torch, a road, and a powered rail. It continues making the road until after 8 blocks it places two more pillars and a powered rail. You are also able to blacklist certain blocks so it does not break them, Aswell as this you can change it so that certain blocks drop different items/amounts. When a user logs out all of their miners are stopped to prevent easy resource gathering.
