Description

Brings back the classic BuildCraft quarry for modern Minecraft. (part of the RetroRig mod suite bringing back BuildCraft elements)

Place a Quarry block and it gets to work, automatically constructing a frame around the dig area, then mining everything inside down to bedrock. Drops are ejected above the machine or routed into connected inventories.

Construction Torches let you define a custom dig area. Place two torches at the same Y level within 64 blocks of each other and the quarry will respect those bounds.

Powered by Forge Energy. Compatible with other tech mods.

Features:

  • Automatic frame construction and interior clearing
  • Custom dig area via Construction Torches
  • Block break sounds and a looping ambient operating sound
  • Ejects items above the machine or into adjacent inventories

Crafting: The quarry takes iron blocks, diamonds, a diamond pickaxe, repeaters, and a copper trapdoor.

    VerseWorks is an experimental dimension-builder (Similar to Mystcraft) that lets you craft custom worlds through writing. Instead of just hopping through a portal, you’ll be gathering raw "verses" and using them to define the parameters of a new reality.
