Ultimate Drills adds craftable mining tools with different strengths, heating and cooling, area-mining modes and a configurable item-drop system. Basic material tiers lead into specialized drills, including prismarine, chorus, prospector, magma, engineer and seismic equipment.
Handheld controls
Use the drill on blocks to mine. Sneak and use it to access or change the mining mode, depending on the drill. Precision, Standard, Excavation and Tunnel cover single blocks, wider areas and directional tunnels. Watch the heat indicator: sustained use can overheat the tool until it cools.
Drops start disabled. Double-sneak or type !!drops to toggle them before mining materials you want to keep. !drillstats displays tool information. The prismarine drill suits underwater work, while the chorus drill offers short forward teleportation.
Machines and crafting
The current 1.9.7 files also include an autonomous Engineer Drill and a Downward Quarry. Their interactions open controls, while sneaking accesses storage. Basic drill recipes combine the tier material with redstone components; advanced variants use more specialized recipes. Enable Beta APIs as specified by the pack and activate both included packs.
