StrataWorks 1.2.0 — Industrial Quarry Update

The Industrial Framed Quarry has arrived!

StrataWorks 1.2.0 introduces a powerful new FE-powered quarry designed for larger-scale automated excavation.

New Features

• Industrial Framed Quarry — Automatically excavates terrain layer by layer.

• Configurable Mining Area — Set excavation dimensions up to 32×32 blocks and adjust mining depth.

• Animated Quarry System — Visible boundary frame, gantry, and moving mining head that follow excavation progress.

• FE-Powered Operation — Supports compatible external energy sources.

• Expanded Storage — 27 internal output slots with external item extraction support.

• Improved Controls — Monitor energy, excavation progress, current mining layer, and machine status through the GUI.

• Automatic Resumption — Pauses safely when required chunks are unloaded and resumes when available.

Stability & Compatibility

• Preserves existing Digital Miner and Compact Quarry functionality.

• Includes safe inventory handling and machine-break item recovery.

• Improved protection against item duplication and interrupted-extraction issues.

• Persistent excavation progress across world saves and server restarts.

• Optimized scheduling for multiple operating quarries.

• Validated with 30 unit tests and 164 GameTests.

Important Notes

• Requires Minecraft 26.3 and NeoForge 26.3.0.76.

• Requires an external FE power source.

• Quarry operation requires the owner to be online in the same dimension.

• Only supported terrain blocks are excavated; unsupported blocks are safely skipped.

• Quarry frames are visual and do not require physical frame construction.

• Chunks are never force-loaded.

StrataWorks now offers three distinct mining systems: the Digital Miner, Compact Quarry, and Industrial Framed Quarry.

Mine Smarter. Dig Deeper. Build Bigger.
