Mini Workers
by tima4ka1
Mini Workers adds small worker stations for NeoForge 26.2 that handle farming, tree cutting, mining, ranching and item movement in place of one large machine.
What it does
Each Mini Workers station is built around a single task. A player places a station, defines its work area and supplies the resources it needs, and the worker then repeats that job over time. The current release includes transport pipes, sorting pipes, a farmer, a lumberjack, a miner and a ranch station, so smaller systems can be combined instead of one huge machine.
The workers cover crop farming, tree cutting and replanting, straight-shaft mining, ranching and item movement. Items travel between inventories through a pipe network, carried by transport pipes, and sorting pipes send each item down the storage path it belongs on. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 26.2, and it is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Station-based workers
Each worker is placed as a station with a defined work area and a supply of resources, then runs its task unattended.
Transport and sorting pipes
Pipes connect chests and farm outputs into simple transport systems, and sorting pipes separate resources into storage paths.
Farmer worker
The farmer can adapt an existing farm, maintain it, or build a new crop field inside its work area, and it keeps selected seeds reserved for planting.
Lumberjack and miner
The lumberjack cuts and replants trees and can use bone meal to speed growth, while the miner digs straight shafts downward and avoids chests, lava and water.
Ranch station
The rancher manages cows, pigs, sheep and chickens inside a fenced area, feeding and breeding adult animals and collecting dropped eggs.
