Translations:Advanced Miner II/9/en

The Miner has an operation area of 97x97 blocks, which is 48 blocks in each cardinal direction from its controller block. Because the Miner does not load chunks, every chunk in its area of operation must be loaded or else the Miner will skip any blocks in that chunk. Leaving the chunks unloaded causes the mining pipe to be lowered more quickly, allowing it to reach a deeper ore vein without mining any nearby shallow veins.
