(A really bad video I made during testing)
Test with 25 miners
Features
- Nearly infinite autonomous mining.
- Miners live off the land (they consume coal as needed).
- Keeps the area it is mining chunk loaded (only 2 chunks loaded at a time if using spot-loaders).
- Picks up where if left off if the server restarts.

Installation Instructions
Step 1:
v1.2a - stable
pastebin get 1ucZM1hu setupv1.3a - newest
pastebin get pa8LvVWe setup
Step 2:
setupSelect Mining Boss or Mine Worker (only 1 turtle needs to be setup as a boss)
Step 3:
Add fuel to the turtles. Note that the mine workers only need this done once as they will refuel themselves when needed.
Operating Instructions
Place down the "boss' in the bottom left corner of a chunk (press F9 to see chunk boundaries). His back and left side should be against the chunk boundaries.
Boss inventory example:
Slot 1: Add at least 2 chunk loaders (spot loaders are recommended)
Slot 2: Add ender chests (1 for each miner)
In the following slots, add the resources that the miner should ignore. I put in the following in this order: 64 stone, 64 dirt, 64 gravel, 64 cobblestone. Note that each miner will be given 1 of these resources to use for comparison while mining. I included cobblestone as the miner will use any of these resources to fill in any blocks it has mined.
The remainder of the slots can be filled with turtles (do not leave any empty spaces between the items). At least 1 miner is required
