Quantum Quarry Plus
by realzhefop
Quantum Quarry Plus is a Forge add-on that lets a quarry machine remove blocks from a separate dimension, with upgrades for filters, pumps and dimension choice.
What it does
The quarry removes blocks in an area and can send the results to an inaccessible dimension, so the resources are voided rather than kept in the world. The machine teleports or removes blocks in parallel, and it draws a large amount of energy at its fastest setting, which breaks one block per tick or 20 blocks per second. A filter upgrade lets the quarry skip materials such as stone, and an item blacklist or whitelist controls what it takes. A pump upgrade adds lava as a mined resource.
The mod also adds Quantum Quarry Game and a set of upgrades: a base filter upgrade, a pump upgrade, an Earth Orb, and orb switches that choose between the Overworld, the Nether and the End. A Quarry Frame, Ender Obsidian, an Ender Cell and a Creative Energy Cell round out the crafting path. A future ore quarry tag upgrade is planned but not yet released.
The files target Forge only, for 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 as game versions, with 1.4.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest file, published on 2024-02-09. Only a client needs the mod for its interface, and the server must run it as well. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Resource voiding
Removed resources can be sent to a separate dimension, so the quarry clears an area without filling the local inventory.
Filter and whitelist control
A filter upgrade and an item blacklist or whitelist decide which items the quarry keeps and which it skips.
Lava and pump mining
A pump upgrade lets the quarry take lava and turn it into a removed resource.
Dimension orb switches
Orb switches pick the Overworld, the Nether or the End as the target dimension for the quarry.
