Tunnel Bore
The Tunnel Bore is used to mine a 3x3 tunnel, laying tracks down as it goes.
The Tunnel Bore will continue to function as long as it has a Bore Head attached, as well as an adequate supply of Fuel, Tracks, and ballast material. Whenever it encounters a hole in its path that is 10 blocks or less deep, it will attempt to fill up the hole using the ballast material. Only certain blocks such as Sand or Gravel can be used as ballast material.
There are serveral reasons why the Tunnel Bore would stop, such as running out of any supplies, or encountering lava, water, a hole too deep to fill, or a block it can't mine. Any mobs or players that get in front of the Tunnel Bore while its running will get hurt.
Crafting Recipe:
- 2 Blocks of Steel
