Quarry Landmark

A corner marker that defines the area a Quarry Controller will mine.

Overview#

Landmarks are how you draw a quarry's footprint. Each one projects animated marker lasers along the horizontal axes; place three in an L and the controller reads them as the corners of a rectangle. They're consumed when the quarry activates.

Landmarks are optional: you can instead outline the rectangle yourself with hand-placed frame blocks (Frame Casing is placeable) and put the controller beside the closed ring — see Quarry Controller.

Obtaining#

Craft (shaped, makes 3):

R
G
I

R = Redstone · G = Glass · I = Nerosteel Ingot

How it works#

• Three landmarks = a box. Two landmarks "link" when they share a row or column at the same Y

  within range; an L of three gives all four extents of the rectangle.

• Same Y level. Place all three at the same height — that height becomes the quarry's reference

  plane (the frame is built there; mining runs from just below it down to bedrock).

• Within the size cap. Each side of the rectangle may be up to 64 blocks (the

  quarryMaxSide config value). An oversized or degenerate layout is simply not claimed — the controller stays at "Idle — set landmarks or frame".

• Binding. Place the Quarry Controller next to / in line with a landmark.

  On activation it scans the cluster, removes the landmark blocks, and builds the frame.

• Cosmetic only otherwise — the lasers are a client-side effect; landmarks have no inventory or

  power.
