Simply Caterpillar adds a drill that makes 3x3 mineshaft for you.
You can add or not add any part to customize your drill.
⚠️ Longer the caterpillar is, more fuel it will consume.
This is the main part of the drill, it's used to drill and has the inventory for the drill.
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.
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.
Builds the inside of the mineshaft.
This is where you edit the decorations to be placed. By default, it places them similarly to the vanilla mineshafts.
Replaces gravel/sand, lava, water, and air in the square surrounding the mineshaft with the block of your choice.
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.
This allows you to destroy anything the caterpillar mines that you don't want, and save inventory space for what matters.
Set anything you don't want to keep to be incinerated here.
Takes the gathered inventory items and puts them inside the minecart with chest, and releases it when it is full.
Put any item inside the minecart with chest.
