Finally! After about a year of procrastinating, I have completed rewriting it into a less buggy program that does the same thing! (Plus more!) (With less bugs!) Introducing:
Tunnel x 2
It's double the tunnel!
What it does:
What this program does is makes a tunnel of a specified length. The turtle making this tunnel has maximum efficiency by mining up, down, left, right, and forward, mining 5 blocks per unit of fuel! If the inventory gets full, it will place a chest, empty the items, and continue mining the same tunnel. It automatically updates, and saves it's progress.
How to use it:
Spoiler
Usage: tunnel2 <length> [StopOnBlockAb]. Length is how far the turtle will mine. "StopOnBlockAb" is a boolean value that is not required. If true, it will stop and return as soon as there is the absence of a block in front of the turtle. Place the turtle facing toward the mining direction. Example on right:[attachment=2334:2015-07-30_10.34.56.png]
It will then ask you to throw some chests on top of it. Throw a stack of chests on top of it, it doesn't matter how much, just 64 or under. Then it will ask you the same about torches. Repeat the process with torches. Now it mines a beautiful t-shaped tunnel (On left)! It will place a torch every 12 blocks, and a chest every time it's inventory gets full. When it comes back, it will tell you how many chests it left in the tunnel. Then you may retrieve the turtle.
Known Bugs:
Spoiler
- No known bugs! Please report any you notice.
Changelog:
Spoiler
v1.0- Release!
- Major bug fixes: The program auto-restarts, The program breaks the chest, other less major ones.
- Added auto-refuel

- Added auto-updating
- Added auto-saving progress of tunnel (May be buggy)
- Improved auto-save performance, not buggy anymore.
- Now saves chestNum (Number of chests placed in the tunnel) in the autosave.
Additional Notes:
- It's gravel-proof!
- Mining turtle required. Works on advanced and normal.
- In order to not use chests or torches, drop something else instead of torch or chest when it requests them. Keep in mind though that instead of placing the chest/torch it will place whatever you gave it.
- Chest not required, although if no chest is provided, the turtle will just spew out the items into the side of the tunnel.
- Torches not required.
- Best used on the side of a mountain or chunk mine. Set StopOnBlockAb as true if you want it to come back when it reaches the other side, or a cave.
- It automatically updates as of v2.2, so don't worry about coming back to the download link every day. You MUST have access to pastebin to auto-update, or you have to manually update it.
- It automatically saves it's progress, so if the world shuts down, or it goes into an unloaded chunk, just find it and start up the program again. It will ask you if you want to resume, then say "Yes". Then you just turn it facing forward using the arrow keys, press enter, and it continues mining the same tunnel, to the original specified length.
v2.5: (Stable)
pastebin get 2ybU4SQW tunnel2Please report any bugs or suggestions in this thread and I will do my best to accommodate you. Thank you and enjoy Tunnel x 2!
