Mining Bot

Mining Bot

A walking bot that digs out an area you mark. Crafted from glass, a Blank Chip, 2 iron ingots, redstone and an iron pickaxe.

• Battery 48 000 FE. Health 20. Chip slots 3. Cargo 9 slots.
• Modes: Follow, Stay, Mine, Sleep.

Marking an area

Hold the Remote and sneak-use two blocks: the two corners of a box. The largest box is mining.maxJobSize blocks along each edge (9 by default); a bigger selection is cut down and the message says so. Then pick Mine from the radial.

What it does

• Digs the box out block by block, and only where you may break blocks: spawn protection, claims from supported Neroland mods and the #nerocompanion:unmineable block tag are left alone, and so are chests, furnaces, beds, signs and other blocks with contents. It does not dig next to lava.
• Drops go to its own cargo, then to a Carry Bot of yours nearby, then to the container you bound with the Remote, then to you.
• It pauses when you move more than 64 blocks away or change dimension, and carries on when you come back. It gives up on blocks it cannot reach and tells you.
• When the job is done it says how many blocks it dug, climbs out and goes back to Follow.
• An Ore Filter chip keeps only ore drops. Speed and Range chips help too.

Servers can turn mining off with mining.enabled=false.
