Module TypeReliant

Required ModulesCustom Crafters
Compatible MC Versions1.15+

Getting Started

To get started with tunnel bores, aquire a Minecart with Piston via a Custom Crafter. To start the bore, right click it with any coal on the back side of the cart, later on you can adjust the carts heading or restart its engine (if it got stuck) by right clicking with an empty hand.

Each Minecart with Piston can hold up to 64 normal rails in its internal inventory. To add rails, place rails in an adjacent Minecart with Chest. This mechanism can also be used to automatically refuel the cart, though one coal lasts for 3 minutes.

Features

A Minecart with Piston is an advanced form of the furnace minecart that follows the following rules:

  • If the rail the cart is on terminates in a breakable block, it will break that block
  • If the rail terminates in an air-like block and has a solid top-face block below, place a rail
  • If low on rails or fuel, try to refuel and restock from a nearby chest minecart

The Minecart with Piston checks these conditions when there is a block in front of the minecart, but can be manually triggered if on a powered activator rail.
