Buildcraft quarry lava Jan 12, 2013 · I'd love there to be a quarry upgrade that can send water down to the drill bit to deal with lava. A preventative measure for this issue is to fill the Quarry's excavation area with water. The quarry is a Buildcraft machine that is used to automatically mine out large areas. In the event the quarry encounters lava, the rest of the blocks under the lava will not be mined, due to the fact that the quarry is coded to stop at lava, or bedrock. The quarry will dig through water down to bedrock; however, it will be stopped by The subreddit for all things related to Modded Minecraft for Minecraft Java Edition --- This subreddit was originally created for discussion around the FTB launcher and its modpacks but has since grown to encompass all aspects of modding the Java edition of Minecraft.

It rarely requires any manual work, and only needs a supply of energy (Mj). Costs more water (a source block per lava/obsidian) but stops the need for adding water to a quarry. By default, it will mine out a 9x9 area with a frame of 11x11. This will turn all Lava into Cobblestone , Stone or Obsidian , allowing the Quarry to continue mining. Mining every block slows down the effective speed of the quarry, and leaves you with a lot of junk items to deal with. However, this can be extended to a max of 62x62 mining area with a frame of 64x64 or shortened to a minimum of a 3x3 frame by using landmarks (only 3 are required). This will turn the lava into obsidian - which the quarry can mine. ' A Quarry is a machine that automatically mines a large area. ' 'For the quarry in buildcraft 2 - see this.
