MiningUtils

This mod requires TheMillmanLib to work.

This mod adds new blocks like the Vertical Miner, Block Breaker and the Block Placer, these blocks need energy to function but the Block Breaker and Block Placer also need redstone.

Energy consumption, working speed and maximum amount of energy and fluids can be changed via the config.

The mod also adds upgrades that currently only work with the Vertical Miner.

Vertical Miner:

The vertical miner digs a basic 3x3 square in front of him, but can be enlarged to a maximum size of 9x9 with upgrades. It uses energy to work but both the amount of energy used and the working speed can be changed in the config file. Furthermore, it is also possible to insert an upgrade to make the Vertical Miner work only if it has a redstone signal.

Block Breaker and Block Placer:

The Block Breaker breaks any block in front of it when it receives a redstone signal and needs energy to function. The drops are placed inside his container and if full they will be dropped on the ground. The amount of power used can be changed in the config file. The Block Placer works identically to the Block Breaker except that it places blocks instead of destroying them. For now the upgrades don't work with these two blocks.

The mod also adds a gold search method.
I recommend reading the Wiki to better understand how it works.
