Create: AdsDrills &Ore Nodes
by Aadsd1
Create: AdsDrills & Ore Nodes adds modular drill assemblies and generated ore nodes to Create, letting players build multi-block drilling machines and extract from rich deposits.
What it does
The mod works as an addon for the Create mod. Players assemble custom drills from modules for processing, storage, cooling and automation, then connect them into large multi-block drilling contraptions that extract special ore veins. Create is required, and the mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only.
Ore nodes are generated in the world as multi-ore deposits. Each node has its own hardness, richness and regeneration values. Fracturing a node yields catalysts, which can be combined with raw data to produce artificial ore nodes. The mod is open source under the MIT License, with a public source repository and issue tracker. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
Key features
Modular drill assemblies
Drills are built from interchangeable modules, covering processing, storage, cooling and automation.
Dynamic ore nodes
Generated nodes hold several ores each and carry unique hardness, richness and regeneration values.
Artificial node crafting
Catalysts harvested from fractured nodes and raw data can be used to craft new ore nodes.
Specialized drill heads
Explosive heads and precision heads with multiple modes and energy-based lasers let players pick a tool for each job.
