Mining Farms

Industrial mining farms with craftable iconic computer hardware, biome-derived resources and mob loot production.


A tech-themed mod that adds mining farms (inspired by cryptocurrency miners) to produce resources using a lot of energy and luck.

⚠️ This mod is supposed to be used in combination other tech mods, which implement fluid pumping and FE (forge energy) generation. Recommended to be used with: Create, Create Crafts & Additions, Mekanism.

Adds 5 mining farms and over 20+ iconic GPUs and CPUs with a proper progression flow for early, mid and late game.

Overview & guide

There are 5 tiers of farms, with each upgrade having more GPU & CPU slots, energy and water capacity


Tier 1 - 4000 mB water capacity, 100 kFE energy capacity, 1 CPU and 1 GPU slot
Tier 2 - 16000mB water capacity, 400kFE energy capacity, 1 CPU and 2 GPU slots
Tier 3 - 64000mB water capacity, 1.6MFE energy capacity, 2 CPU and 3 GPU slots
Tier 4 - 256B water capacity, 6.4 MFE energy capacity, 2 CPU and 4 GPU slots
Tier 5 - 1024B water capacity, 25.6MFE energy capacity, 3 CPU and 5 GPU slots

You can craft and install processors and graphics cards with different performance, cooling requirement and water consumption in a farm of any tier to passively produce resources.


To power a farm you need to pump water and energy into it. If the farm runs out of water, but still has energy it will make a warning sound, overheat and explode after a few seconds. If it runs out of power while still having water, it will shutdown safely.



The mining process emulates generating a random block from the biome the farm is currently located in, and breaking it, getting you a it's drop each iteration. For example in plains biome you can get stone, dirt, wood, any ore (including modded) or pratically any block that is naturally generated. The chance depends on how rare this block is, compared to all other blocks in the worldgen. Here are some examples.

Overworld, savanna, block mode:


Nether, basalt deltas, block mode:



Every farm has a block mode and mob mode. The mob mode works the exact same way, but instead emulates mob drops from mobs that can spawn in the current biome. To toggle the mode sneak + right click the farm.

You can configure every GPU and CPU production speeds, cooling requirement and power usage in the mod config.
