I feel like drills would make mining way faster and cooler! They would be able to mine fast though a few blocks, and have different effects on ores.

they will also create an explosion if they run out of durability.

Drills will actually destroy most ores, so just use a pickaxe for them.

Drills will mine through blocks really fast.. like Creative mode fast. However they will rapidly lost durability if they come in contact with Obsidian, or Bedrock.

Drills WILL function in water, but they will lose durability qucker.

If you equip a drill underwater, you will start to sink. You cannot dive while holding a drill.

While holding a drill you will appear just holding it. You will have to of course hold click to start mining. While mining you will appear holding the drill with both hands with the top spinning making a spin noise.

ORES

—————

Redstone Ore: Will drop a LOT more redstone dust.

Coal Ore: Will drop less coal than using a pickaxe

Iron Ore: Will drop 5-7 iron nuggets

Gold Ore: Will drop 3-5 gold nuggets (drops less due to gold having poor durability)

Nether Quartz Ore: Drops less quartz than using a pickaxe

Diamond Ore: Drops 0-2 Diamonds when mined with a drill

Lapiz Lazuli Ore: Drops 0-4 Lapis Lazuli

Emerald Ore: Drops 0-1 Emeralds

BLOCKS

—————-

Drills will destroy most appliances (furnace, crafting table, etc) so they will not drop if mined with a drill.

-If you mine glowstone with a drill it will drop 3-7 glowstone dust!

-drilling sand will cause a lot of sand to drop.

-drilling clay causes more clay to drop as well.

CRAFTING RECIPE

——————————

Hmm.. It will include iron ingots, gold ingots, and redstone.

ENCHANTMENTS

——————————

Hmm.. enchantments will include Unbreaking, Efficiency, Fortune, Silk Touch, Mending, and other pickaxe related enchantments. New enchantments will be

Ore Mining- allows better ore mining. You can mine ore just like with a pickaxe!

Waterproof- Drills are extra durable underwater

You may reply what you think about this idea!

Thats a good mod idea but i dont think this could be added to the game.

This seems just too modern for Minecraft. Also, when you drop up to seven glowstone dust with a glowstone block made from four glowstone dust you can make more glowstone by simply mining it.

This would make pickaxes entirely redundant, especially with the Ore Mining echantment.

maybe it could be a good idea if its not recraftable only findable

Sounds like this also is slightly based of FTB mod pack.

Thank you all for the feedback! This actually was based on the Drax from Terraria.

I don't know if this fits vanilla Minecraft. Sounds awesome for a mod, but we already have pickaxes. This might be too modern. What if instead of crafting the drill, it could be found in End Cities or Nether Forts? That might make it more a rare treasure item, and justify its inclusion into the game's setting as some "ancient artifact".

No! The point of Minecraft is to craft your tools, not find them like you would in literally every other game ever.

Well I see your point, but you do find the elytra, saddle, and other things in minecraft. And thank you everyone for your feedback to far!
