Simply Caterpillar is a great way to automate your mining capabilities in Minecraft with a series of machines that all connect together as a sort of train. Each part has their own functionality and will easily cut through a 3×3 tunnel for as long as you need it to or until it runs out of fuel. The first piece you’ll need to craft is the basic drill segment and that will be the key component of the drill head. After you’ve crafted a drill head you will then need to place it on the bottom block of the section you want the caterpillar to start drilling.

From here you can start adding different components to maximize the caterpillar’s abilities. You don’t necessarily need all of the included parts but having all of them connected will give you the best results. There is a drill seat you can connect and this will allow anyone to sit in the caterpillar as it’s drilling. This can be a useful part to allow you to add more fuel as it consumes it or simply to turn it off or on from a convenient location.
