This is a kind of complex idea but I gave it a lot of thought so here goes.
You know how you're always digging underground to make passages but it takes so long and if you use TNT it will ruin your passage? Well when this happens you craft a drill spawner. It would probably be made up of coal, redstone, iron, and cloth. When you use the drill spawner it will create a 3 x 2 x 2 vehicle that you can get in and drive around to drill through anything except for bedrock. If you combine a drill spawner with a chest it makes a drill that collects everything it destroys. It works at walking speed while drilling and goes at double speed when it's not drilling.
It sounds really fun but it might make the game to easy which is why I want to say that after 15 straight regular minutes it runs out of gas. To refill it, combine the drill spawner with coal.
When you break the drill, it turns into a drill spawner.
Give me a if you like it and if you really, really, really like it.
If you don't like it give me a .

A drill vehicle that you can drill through the wall with? It's faster and what not... but doesn't have a minecraft fell. I really don't like it and has been suggested before.

Minecraft fell? Minecraft cant trip over anything...
Resource heavy (It took me about 5 iron blocks to make all the pipes and batteries, etc), and a energy hog (About 5 batteries required to dig a 5x5 area).
Well, trash the stationaryness, but keep the energy hog. One coal should only last 8 seconds, like it does now.
Digging may be slightly faster then iron and slower then diamond.
Ingredients might be 7 minecarts, one diamond pick, and one furnance.
too many parts to waste on coding, however if you managed to merge parts, and have more diamond parts, and use existing items, then mebbe. I'd say 1 Coal/Charcoal lasts 5 seconds, maybe less. Seriously though, charcoal and coal is really easy to get considering stone axes + saplings + swords + time = a LOT of wood. Also lava bucket for a minute for the sake of iron.

Yes that is a bad idea.
A car idea AND a "make mining easier" thread all in one?
...I hate it. There is no reason that the time it takes you to mine a 2x2 tunnel should be considered such a problem that it requires the invention of a vehicle that can mine AND move faster than any player, while being able to break through any block other than bedrock even though it is made of easily obtainable materials - not even diamond is included in construction in the OP, other posters had to bring it up. I have serious doubts about your "I gave it a lot of thought" claim.
With your idea I could go, within 2 days probably, from being stranded alone on the beach with no items...to having a damned drivable drilling platform. Ridiculous.
they way i was thinking was it takes like 3seconds to break trough 1 layer of 2*2 blocks and i was thinking that it would be more of a clearing machine so you can clear caves for minecarts or houses
or it could have 2 settings 1 where it takes 5 seconds to mine one layer of 2*2 blocks and the other setting it takes 2 seconds to destroy one layer of 2*2 blocks
That makes no sense. Why would anyone use the slower speed setting if the entire purpose of this idea is to create something that makes it easier/faster to mine a tunnel?
It's hard to balance something when it's only reason to exist is making some task into easy mode.
so it still isn't that powerful but it can mine and plus didn't you see the (super rare uranium bit)
and you could make a new creature like a giant 8*4 monster robot thing that you have to kill to get uranium from, that way your adding an awesome robot to the game at the same time.
its a threefer uranium generators, awesome robots and a drill machine
I ignored it on purpose. There is no logical reason why Uranium would be implemented...are we not only now building vehicles to do our mining for us, but we also suddenly know how to create nuclear reactions and somehow produce power from it? Seems like you just pulled the word Uranium out of the air because it sounds powerful and/or you actually just want nukes and futuristic "atomic" technology ala Fallout.

Oh, and lava doesn't count as fuel : )
Though the drill should be diamond tipped, it should be handheld, and it shouldent drop any recources.
