Simply Caterpillar adds a drill that makes 3x3 mineshaft for you.
Features
You can add or not add any part to customize your drill.
⚠️ Longer the caterpillar is, more fuel it will consume.
Basic Drill Segment
This is the drill base, it's used for all parts.
Recipe
Drill Head
This is the main part of the drill, it's used to drill and has the inventory for the drill.
Screen
It has 18 slots of storage built in, and a fuel slot. Power can be toggled in the gui, and fuel consumption will pause when the caterpillar is turned off.
Recipe
Drill Seat
This is the part that allows you to ride the drill.
Recipe
Item Collector
Collects fallen items as it moves, and puts them in the caterpillar's inventory. Pretty useful if you don't want to manually pick up all blocks the drill breaks.
Recipe
Decoration Placer
Builds the inside of the mineshaft.
Screen
This is where you edit the decorations to be placed. By default, it places them similarly to the vanilla mineshafts.
Recipe
Reinforcement Builder
Replaces gravel/sand, lava, water, and air in the square surrounding the mineshaft with the block of your choice.
Screen
Edit the blocks used to reinforce the walls here and what gets replaced, so you can keep water, lava, sand, gravel, etc. out of your mineshaft, or build yourself a floor to walk on, and walls and a ceiling if you wish.
Recipe
Incinerator
This allows you to destroy anything the caterpillar mines that you don't want, and save inventory space for what matters.
Screen
Set anything you don't want to keep to be incinerated here.
Recipe
