Quick Quarry is a lightweight quarry mod designed around early-game automation of mining so that players can focus on automation and crafting.

The Quarries

The quarries are single blocks which move blocks from within their target area to atop themselves. They can either face forward, like a strip mine, or downwards, like a traditional quarry. They come in 3 tiers, with scaling maximium dig sizes and depths, as well as tier they can move.

Stone Quarry

Max Height/Width: 1 Max Depth: 64 Max Mining Level: Stone

Whilst not very powerful on its own, it can be combined with additional quarries relatively cheaply to cover a wider area.

Iron Quarry

Max Height/Width: 16 Max Depth: 256 Max Mining Level: Iron

Useful all-round quarry

Ender Quarry

Max Height/Width: 16 Max Depth: 8196 Max Mining Level: Diamond

Most powerful quarry, mostly useful for really long strip-mines.

Mechanical Breaker

A simple block breaker, the Mechanical Breaker will slowly mine whatever's in front of it using whichever tool is placed into its slot. Items are automatically ejected out the back into whichever inventory is there.

Settings

Height / Width: The size of the cross-section to mined Depth: The maximum depth to mine Down / Forward: Whether to mine down or forward. Scanning: If scanning is enabled, the quarry will move the first valid block. This takes longer the deeper it digs. Round-Robin: Always proceeds to the next block regardless if earlier blocks become filled. On / Off: Whether or not to quarry.
