Chunk Ore Drainer

This is a program I made for the purpose of taking all the ores out of a chunk and putting them somewhere else.
It goes from layer 1 to layer 80, checking for ores. If it finds one, it is duplicated to a storage chunk and the original is turned into air.

*REQUIRES IMMIBIS PERIPHERALS*

It is currently compatible with ores from Thermal Expansion, Basic Components, and Atomic Science. You can add more if you want, just add the name and ID to the ore dictionary.

If you find bugs, let me know. If you want to, improve this and post it somewhere else yourself (or here, I'll include your changes). Then post a link here.

You might want to mention in the original post that this requires the adventure map peripheral and that it's just about as far from a "legit" tool as you can get. :)/>

But…. Why?

An error without a line number isn't that helpful…
Anyways it's most probably because you don't have the adventure map peripheral on the bottom of the computer, and you might as well use worldedit.

Yeah, it is pretty useless. I stopped doing anything with this a while ago. It could be turned into a tool for gathering info about a chunk's ore content, though.
