Yah another one. Better than others? No idea. But it's certainly less dangerous than collecting buckets of lava on your own.

So that it won't run out of fuel while stranded over lava, it makes a conservative fuel-need estimate each time it's about to go grab another lava bucket, and if there might not be enough to do that *and* make & mine what's in the groove, it'll stop.

Also less tedious for large pools because you can just let it run and do something else –As long as you stay in general region of course. CC programs terminate if their chunks unload, I believe.

See links in video description for more details, or start at the how-to document on github.

Post any bugs at github. Also you can feel free to fork it if you see any improvements you can make, as this uses the MIT License. - I'm presently still looking forward to my first pull request!

This video shows the idea: http://youtu.be/SKuKP5QxEqU
Essentially you have redstone with water right beside it, and put lava on top of it.
