Description
The Andesite Tunnel Bore is a rideable multiblock mining vehicle modeled after a subway tunnel-boring machine, complete with a large circular cutterhead, steel ring, shield, industrial panels, venting and hazard striping. Right-click the main block to mount (camera switches to third-person) and drive forward to carve a 5x4 tunnel up to three blocks ahead while automatically laying a polished andesite floor and, now, building a polished-andesite tunnel shell as it moves—placing side walls just outside the 5-wide opening and a ceiling cap above the 4-tall interior. It preserves bedrock and obsidian, steers with WASD relative to your look direction, press Shift to dismount and leave the bore in place, or hit it to destroy and retrieve the item; all original behavior is preserved.

Overview
The Andesite Tunnel Bore is a rideable multiblock vehicle inspired by real-world subway tunnel-boring machines. It sports a large circular cutterhead, steel ring, shield body, industrial panels, venting, and hazard striping. Place it, climb in, and drive it through the earth — it carves a clean 5-wide × 4-tall tunnel, lays a polished andesite floor beneath you, and lines the sides and ceiling with polished andesite as it advances, leaving a finished tunnel behind.

How To Use
Mounting and Dismounting
- Right-click the bore to mount it. Only one rider at a time is supported.
- The camera automatically switches to third-person view while riding.
- Press Shift to dismount. The bore stays exactly where it is.
- Hit (attack) the bore to destroy it and drop the item, so you can pick it up and redeploy elsewhere.
Steering
- Steer with W / A / S / D relative to your current look direction.
- The bore turns to match your yaw as you move.
HUD
While mounted, a heads-up display appears:
- A top bar shows ⛏ ANDESITE TUNNEL BORE.

Abilities And Mechanics
Tunnel Boring
As the bore moves forward it mines a 5 blocks wide × 4 blocks tall cross-section up to three blocks ahead. Mining fires every 4 ticks while the machine is in motion, and cloud particles puff out from broken blocks.
Automatic Floor Laying
The bore places polished andesite under its path as it travels, giving you a smooth, finished floor automatically.
Tunnel Lining
Beyond just the floor, the bore also constructs the side walls and ceiling in polished andesite — placing wall blocks just outside the 5-wide opening and a ceiling cap above the 4-tall interior. The result is a fully enclosed, finished tunnel with no extra work required.
Block Preservation
The bore never breaks bedrock or obsidian. All other breakable blocks are mined normally and drop their items.
Physics
The bore obeys gravity and rests on the ground. It cannot be pushed by other entities.
