How are thins going guys?
I wish I knew more about how the game its self works, I want to try to build or create some sort of mining machine. Make it out of iron, and it takes many parts.
Like you would need a furnace that burns coal or wood like normal.
Then say a mining cart.
Add the furnace to the cart like normal.
A new item called a drill bit or some such.
Attach that to the cart and you have a "mining machine"
Then you need to attach a second cart to it, and place a large chest in it.
The cart is powered by the furnace, as is the drill bit. It mines until it runs out of coal/wood and has a storage area of coal/wood and also a switch that turns it off and on.
You can have different drill bits, some that are made of wood, all the way to diamond bits, they wear out like normal pickaxes. And up to four or maybe 6 bits at once.
As it mines the blocks it mines are placed in the chest.
It mines like a 2X2 or 2X3 block pattern. Two wide and two vertical. or two wide and three vertical.
You have to "operate it" manually from the drivers seat.
I think it would be neat.
