Assorted Extruder
Assorted Extruder is a Technology mod that adds a fuel-driven drill which mines a straight tunnel and lays blocks behind itself as it goes.
What it does
The extruder is fueled and moves forward along a straight line, mining whatever its tools can break. As it advances it places blocks from its own inventory into the slots directly behind it, so the tunnel it leaves is lined as it is dug. When a slot is empty the extruder skips to the next one and leaves a gap, and fuel, mined blocks and placed blocks each have their own place within the machine. A right click opens its screen.
Assorted Extruder requires Assorted Lib on both loaders and Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, both targeting 26.2, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source. Public links for the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available.
Key features
Straight-line tunnelling
The extruder drives forward in a straight line and mines the tunnel ahead of it as it moves.
Block placement behind the drill
Blocks from its inventory are laid into the slots behind the machine, and empty slots leave gaps in the lining.
Fuel and inventory layout
Fuel, mined blocks and placed blocks each have dedicated slots, and the screen opens on a right click.
Leveling and tool material
The extruder levels up to become faster and burn less fuel while holding more. It uses a single tool material.

Use cases
Digging lined tunnels
A player can dig a straight passage that is lined with building blocks as the machine advances.
Mining with a fixed route
Because the extruder keeps to one straight line, a tunnel's path is predictable and repeatable.
Who it’s for: Players who want an automated tunnelling machine that places blocks as it mines, on Fabric or NeoForge for 26.2. Server owners running Assorted Extruder need it on the server and on each player's client.
