BTC Miner
by Mr_Potato
BTC Miner adds a Bitcoin mining setup to Minecraft, built from miner blocks and cooling blocks that players arrange into an operation.
What it does
Players set up a mining setup with the mod's miner blocks, which can be upgraded from a basic tier to a second tier that works faster. Cooling blocks are used alongside the miners, and a passive cooling option is included, so the setup can run for longer periods without overheating. The mod is aimed at players who want an economy-style mechanic built around a virtual Bitcoin mining experience rather than a vanilla progression path.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader and needs Fabric API to be installed next to it. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, and the code is not open source; all rights are reserved by the author, Mr_Potato. A wiki is listed as coming soon, and crafting recipes are not yet documented in one place, so players can look them up in recipe viewers such as Enough Items or JEI once they are available.
Key features
Bitcoin mining machines
Miner blocks turn in-game resources into a Bitcoin-themed mining operation.
Two miner tiers
A tier 2 miner works the same way as tier 1 but runs faster, giving a clear upgrade step.
Cooling blocks
Cooling blocks sit beside the miners and help the setup keep running, with a passive cooling variant as an option.
Mining operations
Players arrange several miners and cooling pieces into a larger operation, with several setup options to choose from.

How it compares
BTC RPG Official Mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.1 that is client-side only, not open source and under All rights reserved, so it does not run on the server. Silana (Vein Miner) is a Fabric mod for 1.21.10 – 26.3, client and server, released under the MIT License and open source, so it is a different kind of mining tool that changes how ore veins are broken. Auto Miner is a Fabric mod for 26.2 that runs on client and server, is not open source and is under All rights reserved, and it automates mining rather than simulating Bitcoin.
