Create: Ore Excavation Fly

Ore veins and a single-block drill for Create Fly. Find veins with the Vein Finder, drill them with rotational force.

Why?

Ore generation at home is lame. Here's the real thing: Drill ores. With infinite veins. Spread over the world. And build a large, humming railway network all over the world to get your stuff. Can you see that train coming from afar, delivering redstone dust to your base?

How?

Ore veins hidden in the ground and a drill that mines them with rotational force. Build a drill on a vein, power it with a Create kinetic network, and carry the ore away by rail.

This is a simplified fork of Create: Ore Excavation by tom5454.

Changes:

  • Port to 26.3 Fabric
  • Fluids dropped
  • Atlas dropped
  • Drill bits dropped
  • Drill multiblock structure simplified to one block
  • Ore finder is enhanced to a radar device
  • Applied some bug fixes from the original issues to the rest of the code
  • Overworld only (neither Nether nor End are supported)

Features

  • Ore veins. Every world has ore veins below the surface. They are infinite. Vein types are plain JSON files in config/oreexcavationfly/veins/ (defaults: iron, copper, zinc, gold, coal, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald), so modpacks can add, remove or rebalance them.
  • Ore Drill. A single block. Place it on a vein, feed rotation into its back, and it outputs ore into the vault, barrel or chest in front of it. The faster the rotation, the faster the drilling. If the container is full, the drill waits.
  • Ore Vein Finder. A prospecting radar. Far away it only gives a rough direction and a signal strength. Closer, it reveals the vein type. Very close, it shows the exact chunk. All ranges are configurable.
  • Recipes. Ore Drill and Ore Vein Finder have normal crafting recipes. JEI shows them and lists which ores can be drilled.

Optional integrations

  • Mod Menu with a Cloth Config screen for the Vein Finder ranges
  • Jade tooltip on the drill: vein, RPM, time per item, progress
  • JEI information pages for drillable ores

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.3, Fabric
  • Create Fly
  • Fabric API

Not included

Fluid extraction and sample drills from the original mod.
