Description

🔩 MineDrill Mod - Major Update v1.1.0

🚀 Overview

The MineDrill is an automatic 3×3 block drill designed for safe and efficient tunneling. This update completely rewrites the mod from MCreator-generated code to pure Java, fixing all major bugs and adding powerful new features.


✨ What's New in v1.1.0

🔥 Critical Fixes

  • Fuel consumption – Completely reworked. No more infinite fuel or duplication.
  • Torch system – Torches now properly consume from inventory (1 torch every 8 blocks).
  • Item duplication – Fixed the bug where coal and torches would duplicate behind the drill.
  • Bedrock protection – Drill now stops immediately when bedrock is detected ahead.
  • Unbreakable blocks – Cannot break End Portal Frames, Command Blocks, Spawners, Barrier, etc.

🆕 New Features

  • Cobblestone support – Automatically places Cobblestone beneath the drill when crossing lava, water, or empty gaps.
  • Improved Hitbox – Collision shape now perfectly matches the visual model.
  • Tooltip system – Hover over the item for helpful information (hold Shift for details).
  • Arabic translation – Full Arabic language support (ar_sa).
  • Proper tool system – Requires at least a stone pickaxe to break and drop the drill.

📦 Technical Improvements

  • Clean code – Rewritten from scratch, no more MCreator spaghetti code.
  • Performance – Optimized block breaking and movement logic.
  • Better GUI – Fixed slot positions and responsive interface.
