Create: Quarry
Create: Quarry adds a powered quarry block that strips layers of ground between two Quarry Stakes, driven by Create rotational force.
What it does
Two Quarry Stakes mark opposite corners of a rectangular area, and linking them defines the mining zone. Once connected to a Create kinetic network, the Quarry block scans the area one layer at a time, extracting ores and replacing mined terrain with a configurable fallback block such as stone, deepslate, netherrack or end stone. A Create Filter restricts extraction to a chosen item or to ore tags, so only the wanted material leaves the ground.
The Quarry runs entirely on rotational force from Create, and its scan speed scales with RPM. It can be enchanted at an enchanting table with Efficiency, Fortune or Silk Touch. Efficiency raises scanning speed while adding stress, Fortune increases ore drops, and Silk Touch keeps blocks whole. Output goes into an inventory like an Item Vault. Optional fluid collection drains into an adjacent Fluid Tank, and optional chunk loading lets the Quarry keep working while the player is away.
Key features
Layer-by-layer mining
The Quarry scans and extracts one layer at a time inside the area defined by two stakes, then moves down.
Ore filtering
A single-item Create Filter or ore tags decide which items are extracted, while everything else is left in place.
Enchantable Quarry
Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch can be applied at an enchanting table to change speed and drops.
Live readout
A tooltip reports the progress, the Y level, and how many blocks have been scanned and ores extracted.
