⛏️ Create Ore Excavation x Mekanism

The datapack lets players pump Mekanism fluids into drills, which increases their output. Drill tiers are built around Brine in tier 1 and Sulfuric Acid in tier 2, and each tier grants a bonus, from a 50% chance of extra ores up to double ores at twice the drilling speed. Some tiers require Diamond Netherite Drill or Netherite Drill, so the factory has to be built in stages.

The datapack changes Create Ore Excavation's ore vein definitions, so its veins can be infinite or finite depending on the COE settings. Spacing, grid size, chunk separation and minimum distance can be edited in the placement section of the vein files, with the rule that separation must always stay strictly smaller than spacing. It requires Create, Create Ore Excavation and Mekanism, and is published for Forge and NeoForge on 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 2.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The server must run it, while players may leave it out, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
