Quarry Block Mechanics

  • Directional block with a 9×9 inventory.
  • Supports multiple container outputs by facing multiple Quarries into the same container.
  • Loot generation occurs only when:
    1. The chunk is loaded.
    2. The Quarry is facing into a valid container (e.g., Chest, Barrel).
    3. The pickaxe has more than 1 durability left.

Usage Steps

  1. Place the Quarry in the desired orientation, making sure it faces a container.
  2. Insert a pickaxe in the center slot of the Quarry’s 9×9 inventory.
  3. (Optional) Place desired items in any other slot(s) to whitelist them.
    • Or place a Redstone Torch below the pickaxe to blacklist those items instead.
  4. Monitor pickaxe durability; replace or repair it before it drops to 1 to keep the Quarry running.

Pickaxe Behavior & Drops

  • Pickaxes never fully break; it stops the Quarry when the pickaxe reaches 1 durability.
  • Base drops; Cobblestone, Granite, Andesite, Diorite
  • Different pickaxes affect:
    • Cooldown (delay between loot generation).
    • Additional loot types (beyond the base drops).
  • Cooldown and Drops Table:
Pickaxe Cooldown (s) Additional Drops
Gold 1.0 (None beyond base drops)
Wood 7.0 + Coal
Stone 6.0 + Lapis
Copper 5.0 + Copper
Iron 4.0 + Iron, + Redstone
Diamond 3.0 + Diamond, + Emerald
Netherite 2.0 + Rare chance of Ancient Debris

Pickaxe Enchantments

  • Efficiency: Each level reduces the Quarry’s cooldown by 0.1s.
  • Unbreaking: Functions like vanilla Unbreaking, slowing durability loss.
  • Fortune: Each level adds 1 extra loot roll per Quarry cycle.
  • Silk Touch: Drops become their silk-touch variants (e.g., Stone instead of Cobblestone).
  • Mending: No durability loss (effectively infinite uses).

Filtering System

  • In the 9×9 Quarry inventory, all slots except the center are filtering slots.
  • Whitelist Mode (default): Only items matching what’s in those filter slots will drop.
  • Blacklist Mode: Placing a Redstone Torch in the slot below the center pickaxe slot switches all filtering slots into a blacklist.
  • Important: If you are using Silk Touch, use silk-touched variants in the filter slots to match those exact drops.

For versions prior to 2.0.0 (or mc versions 1.21.1 and below) the mod works very differently. See the spoiler in the description of this webpage: Modrinth Listing
