Awesome Machines
by shkschneider
Awesome Machines adds quarries, recyclers, ore processing and entity-capture machines to Fabric, and it needs Awesome Core installed alongside.
What it does
A quarry mines a rectangular area, and its efficiency and fortune settings change how fast it works and how many drops it yields. A crafter recycler breaks items back down into their materials. Ore processing machines turn raw ore into refined output, so the mod covers the path from mining to crafting.
Two less common machines are included as well. Randomium is an ore that teleports randomly inside the world, and the imprisoner can capture entities and release them later. A prospector makes ores glow so they are easier to find underground. Awesome Machines runs on client and server, so a server and each player need it, and it requires Awesome Core as a dependency. The mod is open source under the MIT License and its source code is public.

Use cases
Automated mining
A quarry run across a large area reduces hand mining during resource gathering on survival worlds.
Recycling leftover items
Players who collect spare gear can break it down with the crafter recycler instead of storing it.
Who it’s for: Players who build machine lines on Fabric and server owners who want automated mining and processing on a Fabric 1.18 – 1.19.3 server.
