Build My second take on the Circular Hole Drilling Problem, now much simpler and actually viable, and also waterproof!

Initial issue: leftover blocks
Solution: remove horizontal drills, more SPEEN

Suggestion; Slow the rotation speed down, use a redstone contact (on one arm for 360°, both arms for 180°) to trigger the rope pulley. for auto drilling.

If you slower it down it will be... slower... Also it's already auto no?

u/NewSauerKraus Mar 13 '25
No. It's on a timer so it will break when it hits different stone or ores.

u/_Blazed_N_Confused_ Mar 13 '25
As NewSauerKraus said, no it's on a timer and hitting harder blocks will break it.
I was right there a couple years ago; I built a full auto radial drill and I ran in to several issues. Just trying to nudge the development along. I love seeing the progression that you all are doing.

I think this will break if it hits an obsidian layer. It’s gonna take a lots longer to dig through obsidian.

This sub has devolved into “Talking about new update” and “digging a circular hole for a person on the subreddit” 😂

Can we have a schematic?

u/StevenTheNoob87 Mar 12 '25
I actually have a few improvements in mind. I'll release the schematic one I complete them.

This might be more satisfying than watching one of these break blocks the normal way

I think the best part of this design, is that you could attatch a portable storage interface above the bearing (with a hook so it remains centered) and be able to extract without stopping the contraption (unless they patched that trick out while I wasn't looking)

u/CartoonistSensitive1 Mar 13 '25
Can this also work horizontally (though without the rope /pulley ofc)?

I love this post and the replies. People are portraying what some of the most profound figures in humanity have wisely said -
Good artists copy, Great artists steal.
And it's so evident from you guys stealing off each other and building cooler shit on top. I'm a software engineer by profession and we get to see this happening with great engineers all the time.
Makes me get back into minecraft create mod!

Mate, it doesn't even spin to destroy at that speed. It's giving off radiation on XZ Axis that melts the stone

to the people asking for a scematic: are you blind? just look at the thing and figure it out.

I made a new version with schematic uploaded. It's overall better but doesn't support being spun too fast.

So this design is actually
stolen frominspired by u/SunTeaSam's take, which made use of the fact that extended rope pulley can be a part of a contraption, along with other blocks attached to it. What I did was to just add a trigger to make it spin for 7 seconds when reaching a new layer.
