Scanning Miner

A very efficient mining program utilizing Plethora's block scanner.

Requirements

• Advanced Turtle
• Diamond Pickaxe
• Ender Modem
• Block Scanner
• Bucket
• Ability to connect remotely (neural interface or pocket computer)
• GPS

Setup

pastebin run uzghlbnc
package install miners
password

The turtle is meant to be accessed via VNC.
From the neural interface or pocket computer, establish trust:

trust <turtle ID>

Provide the turtle with roughly 1000 fuel. The turtle will refuel while mining with either lava or coal (mainly lava once found).

Mining

Place the turtle at the center of the area you would like to mine. For best performance, set the turtle at a Y location that is a multiple of 16 (16, 32, 48, 64, etc). Place into the turtle the diamond pickaxe, ender modem, cobblestone, and bucket. Additionally, add any blocks that you want to exclude from mining (such as stone, gravel, etc). Run:

scanningMiner

Options:

• -c : number of chunks to mine
• -s : add additional blocks to ignore

Any time the turtle restarts, the program will restart and continue mining where it left off. The startup program is usr/autorun/scanningMiner.lua.

Remote Access

While the miner is running, you can update the blocks to exclude. Select a block and hit 'Ignore' in the menubar. The abort button will cause the miner to stop mining and return to the starting point. Note that the abort may not be immediate.

Changing mining locations

If you move the miner to a new location, remove the usr/config/scanning_miner.progress file.

Config file

The ignore blocks are added to usr/config/mining.dictionary. This file can be edited if needed.
