Mining Drills & Tools expands survival with an industrial mining and automation progression, taking players from basic equipment toward large-scale excavation, resource processing, and advanced bases. Its drills come in material tiers such as wood, stone, iron, copper, diamond, emerald, and netherite, with ordinary and elite models clearing areas from 1×1 up to 20×20; creative and administrator drills reach larger areas. Specialized ore smelters double the output of matching ores, while generators can produce resources such as cobblestone, stone, dirt, glass, logs, glowstone, quartz, deepslate, and froglight when supplied with fuel and activated by redstone. New ores and materials include Quantum Steel, Wolframita, Rose Diamond, Sculk, Nightforged, Crimson Debris, salt, charcoal ore, quartz ore, and Voidforged materials, which support crafting new armor, weapons, pickaxes, paxels, and multitools. The mod also adds storage such as backpacks, crates, and special barrels, alongside utility devices including chunk loaders, repellers, a warp stone, starter houses, and lava and water infusers. New creatures include the Mining Trader, guards, a Friendly Ghast, A.U.R.A., and candy-themed mobs; consumables and support items include enchanted apples, experience bottles, medical boxes, and totems. For construction, players can use industrial and decorative blocks such as asphalt, reinforced glass and metal, Grimrock and Sculk-themed blocks, lamps, and matching slabs, stairs, walls, fences, and doors. A configurable survival progression includes more than 1,000 recipes and more than 1,000 advancements and recipe unlocks, with settings to adjust or disable systems such as generators, fuel requirements, utility machines, mobs, and server-related mechanics.
Written from Modrinth . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 1 area: User interfaceChanges 1 game code file in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay..
Adds 584 blocks, 253 items, 8 mobs, 2 structures, 1,039 recipes, 97 advancements, 10 sounds and 1 key binding.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found in the parts we could check
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
3 of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download them from CurseForge.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends, in the 5 of its 8 files we read
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
AI was used for its images
ChatGPT is named in the images in its files.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
