Quite Quarry
by Nhbybnb
Quite Quarry is a NeoForge technology mod that adds a configurable chunk-mining quarry for excavating large areas automatically.
What it does
A quarry is built from Quarry Frame blocks laid out as a rectangular frame, and one frame block is replaced by a Quarry Core that supplies power. Once powered, the quarry mines the enclosed area layer by layer, working down toward bedrock. Drops go into the quarry's internal inventory, where they are stored until removed.
The mod draws its power from Forge Energy, and mining speed, energy consumption, buffer size and the maximum mining area can all be configured. It suits both survival play and large-scale automation setups, since hoppers and item pipes can move items in and out, and redstone control and dimension locking allow full automation.
Quite Quarry requires NeoForge only. Files are published for NeoForge across three release versions: 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 26.2. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Chunk-mining quarry
The quarry excavates whole chunks inside a rectangular frame, removing an area without manual digging.
Enchantment upgrades
Efficiency, Fortune and Silk Touch upgrade books change how the quarry mines the blocks it reaches.
Item filters
A configurable blacklist and whitelist decide which blocks the quarry mines and which it leaves alone.
Automation controls
Redstone control and dimension locking let the quarry run unattended, with hoppers and item pipes handling its output.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Survival resource gathering

Large-scale automation
Quarries powered through Forge Energy and connected to item pipes can feed a base with mined materials continuously.
Who it’s for: Players who want an automated way to excavate large areas in survival, and server owners who run automation setups for their players.
