metromod
by Xenoziss
metromod, a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, adds the Metro Digger tool that digs tunnels and places rails automatically.
What it does
Metro Digger is the tool metromod adds. Used underground, it excavates a tunnel automatically and lays rails along its floor, so a player does not have to dig and place each block by hand. Rail alignment is handled by the tool, which keeps the placed track correctly oriented.
The mod works with normal powered activator rails, so tracks it lays can use the powered rails already in the game. Client and server both need it, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it. The author describes the code as lightweight and server-safe. The custom license means the code is not open source, and only 1.20.1 is covered by its files.
Key features
Automatic tunnel excavation
The Metro Digger digs out a tunnel in one pass instead of single blocks dug by hand.
Automatic rail placement
Rails are laid along the dug tunnel as the tool moves forward, with correct alignment.
Powered activator rail support
Standard powered activator rails can be placed by the tool, matching the rails found in vanilla builds.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who build rail transit in Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric. Anyone who wants automated tunnel digging and rail placement on a Fabric server or single-player world.
