The Mountain Piercer

(Check the gallery for a video demonstration [v2.0.3])

Last release   

V4.0- for 26.3 only

Added a new interface that allows players to easily manage which blocks are kept or deleted as the drills advance.

Previously, the list of allowed blocks was shared by all players and controlled by the server administrator. Now, each player can manage their own block lists independently, while still respecting any restrictions set by the administrator.

⚠️If you allow breakable blocks like ice, you need silk touch on your drills to get the drop.

What this mod does

• Adds drilling machines
• Automatically mines large straight tunnels
• Controlled mining in all directions

How to use?

• Fill the tank with right click + redstone in hand
• ON/OFF with right click without nothing in hand
