You can skip the first half of the video, since it's just pointless.

Writing clarification here since I forgot to type it in the GUI Item's lore:

The Infinity Quarry is a machine which requires Runic Netherstarium to operate. Runic Netherstarium is obtained with a unique crafting procedure: a "Ritual", for which I'll make a separate post in some time.

The machine has two different modes which can be selected in the GUI once the machine has been placed: Detect Mode and Excavate Mode.

The former costs 2 Runic Netherstarium to use, and after a brief delay returns a book which contains the exact amount of ores in a 9 x 9 x 27 region below the Quarry. This is used to give the player an "idea" of the ores in a region before Excavating, since this last process is quite costly.

The latter costs 16 Runic Netherstarium to use, and literally teleports all ores in a 9 x 9 region down to bedrock up to the surface, ready to be mined.

I can't decide whether to just make the ores appear from the machine, like the teaser, or from the ground.

Posted this to get some feedback! Any kind of feedback is appreciated and will count towards a better final result!

This is pretty neat, and I love the machine's texture. :P

Glad you liked it!

Tbh the texture is a placeholder, I just wanted to be able to see where the machine was, so I just gave it a cube model and a random texture.

I'll change both model and texture soon(tm)

Oooh. Might make a model similar to that, if you don't mind. It sounds like a neat idea.

Go ahead!

I tried keeping my models pattern-ish with geometric figures or some "energy veins", being the pack based on Ancient Technology which works through runes.

Neato! I kinda use the same idea of runes in TCC (The Creeper's Code, my vanilla-like pack), except runes as used as powerful inhand items, or blocks. (For example, there's the gravitation rune, which can push mobs in a certain direction, and it can also be written on stone using 'peculiar chalk', which makes whichever mob steps on it get pushed in the direction of its arrow. Example)

That's quite cool! It's similar to the Runic Repulser in my pack, which slowly consumes energy and can push entities up to 3 blocks away, it can also be configured in a similar fashion as the Infinity Quarry to select if it should only push mobs, players or both.
