Additional Enchanted Miner: Advanced Quarry & Auto Mining

Additional Enchanted Miner: Smarter Automated Mining in Minecraft

If you love big builds, tech progression, and letting machines do the heavy lifting, Additional Enchanted Miner deserves a spot in your mod folder. In everyday Minecraft terms, it is an automation-focused mod that expands your options for quarries, pumps, and high-throughput resource collection, with a twist: your miners can benefit from enchantments like Fortune and Silk Touch, so you get more control over what you pull out of the world.

What the mod is (and how it relates to QuarryPlus)

Additional Enchanted Miner is an unofficial continuation inspired by QuarryPlus by yogpstop. Think of it as a quarry-style experience for modded Minecraft: you set a boundary, supply power, and the world gets carved into neat, usable materials. The “enchanted” part is not flavor text. Enchantments can change how efficiently machines run and how ores and blocks are harvested, which matters a lot when you are scaling from early-game tinkering to full factory lines.

Loader choices: Forge, Fabric, and the libraries you actually need

Before you install anything, match the mod file to your Minecraft version and mod loader. Older Forge-era releases target classic versions such as 1.10.2, 1.11.2, and 1.12.2. Newer Forge lines across 1.13 through 1.17 and beyond typically expect Scalable Cat’s Force alongside Forge. If you play Fabric, you will want Fabric API and Cloth Config API; Fabric Language Scala applies in many setups, and from 1.20 onward the project points players toward Scalable Cat’s Force instead. Always grab the build labeled for your exact game version, and avoid mixing loaders: Forge downloads should not use files with a fabric suffix, while Fabric downloads should pick files that include fabric in the name.

Power is part of the fantasy for tech mods. Additional Enchanted Miner’s machines are built to accept common energy systems, including RF, EU, MJ, and Forge Energy. If you do not run a modpack that adds generators or wires, you can still experiment by adjusting the configuration: set NoEnergy so you are not blocked while you learn the crafting recipes and placement rules in creative or a lightweight test world.

Core machines, pumps, and quality-of-life tools

The star of the show is QuarryPlus, which can dig down toward bedrock-level depths in a large footprint (up to a 256 by 256 block area in its maximum configuration). Enchantments tie directly into fuel efficiency and mining behavior, which keeps the progression curve interesting as you unlock better books and automation. PumpPlus adds liquid handling to the quarry workflow, while an Advanced Pump offers a faster alternative when you need to drain lakes, oil, or awkward pockets of fluid. There is also dedicated support for clearing liquids so water and lava in a chunk do not stall your operation the way manual bucket brigades would.

WorkbenchPlus is your crafting hub for mod-specific recipes, and JEI-friendly packs will show exactly what you need at each tier. The Chunk Destroyer is the mod’s “terraforming statement piece,” flattening a 16 by 16 chunk area in well under an hour on typical settings, which is perfect for megabases and airport-sized farms. Smaller utilities round out the toolkit: Spawner Controller tweaks neighboring spawners, Enchantment Mover lets you transfer enchantments from a diamond pickaxe onto machines for stronger performance, and Mini Quarry Markers help you visualize and plan dig boundaries without guesswork.

Enchantments, Silk Touch, Fortune, and why they matter

In vanilla Minecraft, enchantments change how you interact with blocks and drops. Here, that same logic scales to automated mining. Silk Touch can matter when you want intact blocks instead of processed outputs, while Fortune can amplify desirable drops from compatible ores. Pair that with pumps that manage fluids, and you get a smoother quarry loop that feels closer to a engineered solution than a hole in the ground.

When you are juggling multiple mods, version folders, and dependency names, a launcher that keeps profiles tidy saves real time. If you already maintain separate instances for Forge and Fabric, this mod can be installed smoothly through the foxygame.net launcher, a flexible modern Minecraft launcher that lets you pull mods straight from the menu without hunting through scattered download pages.

Practical tips before you commit to a world

• Match the mod file to your Minecraft version, loader, and required libraries; double-check fabric suffixes before you copy anything into mods.
• Plan power early: bring a generator mod or adjust NoEnergy while you prototype layouts.
• Use JEI to learn WorkbenchPlus recipes and marker placement so your first quarry does not undershoot its intended area.
• Test pumps on a disposable chunk when you first enable them, especially near lava in the Nether or large oceans.
• Keep backups before running Chunk Destroyer on land you care about; flattening is fast by design.

Conclusion

Additional Enchanted Miner turns automated mining into a configurable, enchantment-aware system that fits neatly into Forge and Fabric tech progression. Between QuarryPlus-scale digging, faster pumping, and utilities like Enchantment Mover and Chunk Destroyer, it gives modded Minecraft players a coherent path from first power cable to continent-scale resource logistics. Pick the correct build for your version, satisfy the listed dependencies, supply energy or tweak NoEnergy for testing, and you will have a quarry workflow that respects both classic Minecraft mechanics and modern modded expectations.
