MachinaBuilder
MachinaBuilder
MachinaBuilder lets the player build a Machina that moves forward and drops blocks below its iron heads.
Features:
- Activated by right-clicking a lever
- Rotate by right-clicking the lever with a stick in hand.
- Moves forward
- Drops blocks from its chest under the iron heads.
- If there are rails in the chest, lays those rails behind it as it moves.
- Extended version can make roads, replacing existing blocks below it with those from its chest.
- Can be directed left or right through signs reading: <-, left, ->, right
- Uses fuel in its furnace to run.
- Maximum depth of 6. (configurable)
- Respects protection from region protection plugins such as WorldGuard, depending on which player activated it.
- Fuel usage and pickaxe usage (only for removing blocks while roadbuilding) can be configured on or off.
How to make a builder
Materials:
- 1-4 Wooden Planks
- 1-3 Iron Block heads
- Furnace
- 1-2 Chests
- Lever


The builder requires fuel, so put a fuel item into the furnace's fuel slot. It also requires blocks to build, put those into the builder's chest. Rightclick the lever to activate it.

The extended version has an extra wood block and chest on the main module.


In addition to rotating with a stick, the builder can be directed to left or right with a sign that reads: <-, left, ->, right

Advanced: Bridge/Pattern Builder
The advanced pattern builder uses a moving headpiece that enables it to build a bridge.
Features:
- Builds a bridge with a maximum depth of 3 blocks.
- Builds with a pattern you specify in the back chest. (up to 3x3)
- Supports rail building like the other builders!
- Supports rotation with signs like the other builders!
How to make a bridge builder
Materials:
- 2-6 Fences
- 3-7 Wooden Planks
- 1-3 Iron Blocks
- 2 Chests
- 1 Furnace
- 1 Lever
Place the blocks as in the image below. You can leave the left and right side out for a thinner builder.

Place the pattern you would like to build in the back chest, on the left side. The pattern can be anywhere from 1x1 up to 3x3.

Materials used for the actual building go in the front chest.

Provide some fuel in the furnace and rightclick the lever to make it build your pattern!

Posted Apr 25, 2012A "Stop" sign for the machine would be very nice. And maybe you can add 2 switches to let the machines (diggin machine too) go up or down. So I can build stairs.

This one is easy. Put any block in its way and it will stop. :)

Posted May 21, 2012Could you make it so you don't have to be near the Drill machine. When I leave it it stops digging. Thanks. E

It only stops when you log out or when the chunk it's in unloads.

Posted Jul 6, 2012The Chest can hold 3 patterns. Can you do that patterns will be placed in order 1-2-3 (if avaiable)? It can be useful in building nicer bridges.

That would be extremely cool. I could imagine it being useful for interspersing powered rails between regular rails, or glowstone along a road, to say nothing of the merely decorative possibilities.

Posted Jul 9, 2012Interesting that the pattern has to be level. I tried using it to lay steps so the patten chest held
And it only laid down one instance of the pattern and didn't move forward.

I like this idea, added to my todo list :)
Second line being empty would be a sort of special case thing that would keep you from running a 3x3 pattern where you really want the middle layer to be empty, as unlikely as it is. :)
@troutinator
Unfortunately the bridge builder needs a solid surface below its center (on the top layer of the pattern) to move forward, that's why your stair pattern wouldn't build. You could include an abundant and easily removed block like dirt in the pattern, then remove the dirt manually after it's done. :)

Posted Aug 17, 2012I don't know if there is any comments or suggestions in regards to this, but an Idea if it was possible, but for Rails, especially Powered Rails, having the options to have Powered rails dispensed as well as Redstone torches every so often.

Posted Aug 27, 2012I really like your machinas (How I made my mob trap, survival, no cheats):
The horizontal drill made a cave 32 x32 x 3 at level 40.
Several veritical drills deepened it to the bedrock.
And the bridge builder rebuilds balcony like floors.
There is only one feature missing for the bridge builder: It can't rotate. :/
Lyneira, could you make a more compact version of the bridge builder that fits into a 3x3x3 cube? This version could be rotated by stick / sign.
Example ...
It is asymmetric: The pattern chest is above a gold block (part of the control unit), the storage chest is above a wooden plank.

Posted Jan 3, 2013Hello !
Can you made permission, for 1 player can controll only x amount of Machinas. For example, Player1 had the machina.build.one permission, he can only build one machina, but Player2 had the machina.build.two permission, he can build two machina. Is this possible, or something like this ? For example, with signs, on the machinas ?
If yes, please add that to the todo list, thanks !
And sorry for my bad english. ;)
