⛏️ Illegal Quarry - The Ultimate Automated Mining System

Short Description: Automated mining system with modular upgrades and fuel mechanics. Inspired by the legendary Ender Quarry from Minecraft.


⚠️ Disclaimer (Early Alpha)

Please be aware that this is a very early version (Alpha) of the mod.

  • Bugs: Expect bugs and unexpected behavior.
  • Balancing: Many features might feel unbalanced at this stage.
  • Customization: You can fully adjust mining speeds and all recipes via the illegal_quarry.json config file to suit your server's needs.

Feel free to share feedback or report any bugs you encounter.


🌟 Key Features

  • ⚡ Fully Automated Mining: Just place it, power it, and watch the loot roll in.
  • 🛠️ Modular Upgrade System: Use Speed Modifiers and targeted Filters to optimize your production.
  • 🔌 Container Support: Fully compatible with Hytale's item containers (chests, hoppers, etc.) for input and output.
  • 🔥 Advanced Fuel System: Run your operations on Charcoal or rare Essences.
  • 🧠 Intelligent Filtering: Specifically target Ores, Earth materials, or rare late-game treasures like Mithril and Onyxium!

📦 How it Works: Logistics & Layout

To get the most out of your Quarry, you need to understand its 3-axis logic:

1. The Brain (Center)

  • Quarry T1 (Basic): Your entry into automation. Sturdy but limited icons for upgrades.
  • Quarry T2 (Advanced): The powerhouse. Supports more upgrades and can extract the rarest materials in the world.

2. Input & Output (Top & Bottom)

  • 📤 Resource Output (TOP): Place a chest or container above the Quarry. It will automatically push all mined items into it. No container? It just drops them on top!
  • 📥 Fuel Input (BOTTOM): Automation starts here! Place a fuel container below the Quarry. It will automatically draw fuel as needed. (Pro tip: It also checks the top chest if the bottom is empty).

3. Upgrades (Sides)

Surround your Quarry with upgrades on any of the 6 sides (even Top/Bottom if they aren't used for chests!):

  • Speed Modifiers: These drastically reduce the mining delay.
  • Filters: Tell your Quarry exactly what to look for (Ore, Earth, or specialized rare ores).

⚙️ Customization (Configuration)
