What it does

Animated Quarries 2 is a Forge storage and utility mod for Minecraft 1.20.1. Its quarries clear ore and resources while leaving the surrounding blocks in place, and the machines show their work with animations as they run. Players progress through upgrades that drive resource gathering. Both the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License, not as open source.

Key features

  1. Non-destructive quarries

    The quarries extract ore and resources without destroying the world around them, so excavated areas stay intact.

  2. Animated machines

    Quarry parts animate during operation, so players can follow what the machine is doing at each step.

  3. Upgrade progression

    Quarry upgrades form a progression path, with mechanics meant to stay balanced as players advance.
