If any of you have ever played Minecraft you may have an idea where this mod idea came from. "Industrialcraft 2"
IC2 example
Now in creative mode we have this ability using terrain tools to blast a straight hole through rock, stone, ores & dirt. Now what if instead of just blasting our way through all that material could be teleported into a designated large crate or our inventory though it would become quite full quickly. So we tone down the range, size & length of how far it drills instead of a 3x3x24 depth the drill would instead mine a hole of 3x3x12 blocks deep using the creative function as a survival mode tool instead. Let's bounce this idea around I would like to create a mod like this. I am a complete dummy when it comes to modding any one on one idea's are very much appreciated. I Am Special Ed.
