Mining Quarries Mod

Overview

• Adds a new block called the Quarry.
• Crafting Recipe:
  • 3 × Cobblestone
  • 1 × Water Bucket
  • 1 x Redstone
  • 1 × Lava Bucket
  • 2 × Cauldrons
  • 1 × Hopper

Quarry Block Mechanics

• Directional block with a 9×9 inventory.
• Supports multiple container outputs by facing multiple Quarries into the same container.
• Loot generation occurs only when:
  1. The chunk is loaded.
  2. The Quarry is facing into a valid container (e.g., Chest, Barrel).
  3. The pickaxe has more than 1 durability left.

Usage Steps

1. Place the Quarry in the desired orientation, making sure it faces a container.
2. Insert a pickaxe in the center slot of the Quarry’s 9×9 inventory.
3. (Optional) Place desired items in any other slot(s) to whitelist them.
   • Or place a Redstone Torch below the pickaxe to blacklist those items instead.
4. Monitor pickaxe durability; replace or repair it before it drops to 1 to keep the Quarry running.

Pickaxe Behavior & Drops

• Pickaxes never fully break; it stops the Quarry when the pickaxe reaches 1 durability.
• Base drops; Cobblestone, Granite, Andesite, Diorite
• Different pickaxes affect:
  • Cooldown (delay between loot generation).
  • Additional loot types (beyond the base drops).
• Cooldown and Drops Table:

Pickaxe Enchantments

• Efficiency: Each level reduces the Quarry’s cooldown by 0.1s.
• Unbreaking: Functions like vanilla Unbreaking, slowing durability loss.
• Fortune: Each level adds 1 extra loot roll per Quarry cycle.
• Silk Touch: Drops become their silk-touch variants (e.g., Stone instead of Cobblestone).
• Mending: No durability loss (effectively infinite uses).

Filtering System

• In the 9×9 Quarry inventory, all slots except the center are filtering slots.
• Whitelist Mode (default): Only items matching what’s in those filter slots will drop.
• Blacklist Mode: Placing a Redstone Torch in the slot below the center pickaxe slot switches all filtering slots into a blacklist.
• Important: If you are using Silk Touch, use silk-touched variants in the filter slots to match those exact drops.
