Magic Mining Laser Mod

Magic Mining Laser

Bring industrial-scale precision mining to your Fabric world with a fuel-powered, redstone-controlled mining laser turret.

Features

• Two-block laser structure with a detailed rotating gimbal and visible cubical energy beam.
• Automatic mining when powered by redstone.
• Default fuel support for coal, charcoal, coal blocks, blaze rods, and lava buckets.
• Fully configurable fuel list and burn times.
• Omnidirectional automatic aiming: north, south, east, west, up, and down.
• Mount the laser as a turret: the gimbal, beam, and mining ray follow the player's exact aim.
• Player stays seated behind the laser while operating the mounted turret.
• Beam damages entities in its path.
• Tinted and stained glass can change the beam colour.
• Internal item storage for mined drops.

Upgrades

Each upgrade bay accepts up to three matching upgrades:

• Tunnel Width Upgrade — starts at a 1×1 tunnel and expands the mining cross-section.
• Laser Speed Upgrade — reduces the delay between mining slices.
• Laser Storage Upgrade — expands internal storage from 9 to 18 to 27 slots.
• Laser Length Upgrade — adds 16 blocks of range per upgrade.

Controls

• Use the laser normally to open its control console.
• Use the six direction buttons or sneak-use while holding an item to set automatic direction.
• Sneak-use with an empty hand, then release sneak, to mount the turret.
• Press L while mounted or while looking at a nearby laser to enable/disable it. The keybind can be changed in Controls → Magic Mining Laser.

Configuration

config/magicminiglasermod.json is created on first launch.

• Configure accepted fuel items and their burn durations.
• Adjust base laser range and entity damage.
• Enable optional bedrock resource generation with generateAtBedrock (disabled by default). When enabled, a laser aimed at bedrock copies the item in its material slot into internal storage.

Requires Fabric API and Minecraft 1.21.1.
