The Block Breaker is a RedPower2 Machine which breaks the block directly in front of its face when a redstone signal is applied to it.
Usage[]
Upon receiving a Redstone signal, the Block Breaker will break the block in front of its block face and drop the block out of the back side. If a Pneumatic Tube, Redstone Tube, or Chest is attached to the block breaker, it will pump the item into said tube, or Chest.
Recipe[]
Uses[]
An automatic Cobblestone generator creates cobble using water and lava, which is then broken by the Block Breakers and can be piped back to chests.

Notes[]
- Despite using an iron pickaxe in the recipe, Block Breaker will break Obsidian and will do so much faster than any normal pickaxe.
- A Screwdriver or Sonic Screwdriver is required to change the direction of the Block Breaker.
Block Breakers facing different directions.
- Factions and other land protection mods can prevent Block Breakers from working, so make sure if your server has factions, you do not have your block breakers in a piece of claimed land.
- If using on a cobble stone generator, having a timer at 1.5 seconds will set off the block breaker right as cobble is generated.
- Using a block breaker on Ice, Glass, Monster Spawner, or Construction Foam will Not produce anything.
- Using a block breaker on IC2-machines may turn them into Machine Blocks.
- Using RedPower2 Wiring such as Red-Alloy Wire will reduce lag from using conventional "vanilla" redstone wire, especially in servers.
Bugs & Errors[]
- Block breakers will stop working at the altitude of y = 200 and up.
- Block Breakers will stop working after some time has passed.
- Block Breakers are able to break personal safes, even if the block breaker wasn't placed by the safe owner. The Mining Turtle has a similar bug.
