Ok just so you know i'm not 100% on this idea, i just felt like puuting it out there to see what you guys think. Ok so my idea was to add something call a mining drill into minecraft. its not too complex for minecraft nor too high tech and it will utilse the resources provided in minecraft. So, the mining drill would act like a jackhammer but its not handheld, its a placeable item. Once coal has been inserted to it, it will begin to mine in whatever direction its pointed in. to make it less OP, it could burn coal at a faster rate or have limited storage or have no storage whatsoever, meaning that whatever block gets mined, fall as though you dropped it out of your inventory. Now onto the crafting layout.It would require a furnace and a pickaxe of your choice (a minecart to give it wheels if need be) at the very least, you could also add in redstone or a diamond and top it off with some obsidian. Still sound OP?I think not. Let me know what you guys think.
Though it is not really OP this idea has been suggested many times (in various forms). Also one of MC top developers (Cant remember which one) said they are trying to keep away from automation in MC.

Everyone says it should be nerfed, in so many ways that it becomes essentially useless. It would have to be very valuable, and made from only the most expensive materials. And then it would have to have some of the limitations described in comments above, or else it would completely destroy the balance everything related to mining in minecraft. I think it should be a fast miner, but require lots of fuel. Maybe it would only run on lava. Anyway, you should have to accompany it, otherwise the chunks would un-load, and it would stop working. It would also explode if it burned for too long.
This sounds a lot like BuildCraft, I'm sure, which is why I think it would better be implemented as a BuildCraft addon. In vanilla, it wouldn't fit in, and wouldn't feel like minecraft to me. It's a decent suggestion, but I don't think it is suitable for vanilla minecraft. Try reading the list of common suggestions to make sure this idea hasn't been suggested before, because many ideas clog the forums with cookiecutter ideas. Add some pictures to post post, too, to brighten it up a bit, and give people a better idea of your suggestion.
So, in conclusion, it's a great idea, but not for vanilla minecraft. It would be pretty cool if implemented with the right nerfing.
