Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Brings back the classic BuildCraft quarry for modern Minecraft. (part of the RetroRig mod suite bringing back BuildCraft elements)
Place a Quarry block and it gets to work, automatically constructing a frame around the dig area, then mining everything inside down to bedrock. Drops are ejected above the machine or routed into connected inventories.
Construction Torches let you define a custom dig area. Place two torches at the same Y level within 64 blocks of each other and the quarry will respect those bounds.
Powered by Forge Energy. Compatible with other tech mods.
Features:
- Automatic frame construction and interior clearing
- Custom dig area via Construction Torches
- Block break sounds and a looping ambient operating sound
- Ejects items above the machine or into adjacent inventories
Crafting: The quarry takes iron blocks, diamonds, a diamond pickaxe, repeaters, and a copper trapdoor.
