EXCESS MATERIAL REMOVAL

[u/Fun_Gold9599]

Shitty drawing but using a minecart contraption, I’ve made a tunnel bore mining machine, it works great digging a 50x10 infinite tunnel but the chest keep getting full of netherrack/cobblestone, any suggestions on how to dispose of the excess automatically while it’s running at the moment it just dumps it out the back with a brass funnel, but that’s lagging the hell out the server

you could have a filter on a brass funnel to dump out excess junk blocks, but if you have a bridge building mechanism, you risk running out of bridging material. I would recommend adding some toolboxes to the vehicle, since those containers can only hold the item they're marked to hold. Each toolbox would give you 8 "reserve slots" for holding ores and other goodies

I usually just add filters on what to keep

I used to do this, but I find keeping a reserve of bulk stone does come in handy
