Title: Mining Turtle abondons mining after a log in

I started a quarry with my turtle and set it running, I think my computer (RL) updated and so minecraft was shut down (it has optifines autosave feature though). When I came back onto my world, and tried to get the turtle to mine a 1x1 hole it turned around and said "Abanded mining returning to surface". I currently have it so that it runs off its internal redstone engine (hardcore mode false in config). I tried labeling it and then placing it somewhere else, and it still gave the same message.

What can I do to continue mining? Thank you.

Can you provide code or are you just using the normal excavate?

A great friend of mine wrote this mining script that will save the position and the activity.

It's also more efficient than the normal excavate and most of the quarry scripts.

For further questions regarding the script you can always PM me.


If the server is up 24/7 however, you might want to place a chunkloader.
That will keep the thing going, even if everyone is logged off.

But at server restarts it will still stop.
