Fluxbore

A fluxbore (also known as a drill) is a tool that mines blocks using Redstone Flux. It functions as both a pickaxe and a shovel.

Usage

Charging

A fluxbore can be charged with Redstone Flux using an energetic infuser, a flux capacitor or similar.

A basic fluxbore can hold up to 40,000 RF and can be charged at up to 1,000 RF/t. This can be increased by upgrading the fluxbore to a higher tier.

An uncharged fluxbore is still usable and will not break when used, but it is very weak.

Mining

A fluxbore can be used as both a pickaxe and a shovel. It consumes 200 RF for each mined block.

A charged basic fluxbore is comparable to an iron pickaxe or shovel. It becomes more powerful when upgraded to a higher tier.

A charged fluxbore can be configured to mine multiple blocks at once in a certain area. When mining multiple blocks, a fluxbore works slightly slower. The current mining area of a fluxbore can be set by pressing “Cycle Item Mode” (V by default) while holding it. The following modes are available for mining multiple blocks, in order of how powerful they are:

Tunnel: 1x2
Area: 3x3
Area: 3x3x3
Area: 5x5

When sneaking, a fluxbore always breaks only one block at a time.

Weapon

An uncharged fluxbore has an attack speed of 0.8, and deals 1 damage. A charged fluxbore has an attack speed of 1.8. When charged, a basic fluxbore deals 4 damage. The damage when charged can be increased by upgrading the fluxbore to a higher tier.

A charged fluxbore consumes 400 RF per hit.

Dyeing

A fluxbore can be dyed by combining it with a dye in a crafting grid. The dye can be removed by placing the fluxbore in a crafting grid.

Enchantments

A fluxbore can receive all the enchantments that pickaxes and shovels can receive.

A basic fluxbore has an enchantability of 10. This can be increased by upgrading the fluxbore to a higher tier.

When enchanted with Unbreaking, a fluxbore has a chance to not consume Redstone Flux when used.

Unbreaking level	No energy use chance
I	33%
II	50%
III	60%

A fluxbore can also be enchanted with Holding to increase its energy capacity.

Holding level	Capacity multiplier
I	× 1.5
II	× 2
III	× 2.5
IV	× 3

Tiers

Fluxbores come in six tiers.

Tier	Capacity	Max. charge rate	Mining speed	Harvest level	Max. area mining mode	Attack damage	Enchantability	Note
Basic	40,000 RF	1,000 RF/t	6	2	Tunnel: 1x2	4	10	Comparable to iron tools.
Hardened	120,000 RF	4,000 RF/t	7.5	2	Area: 3x3	4.5	10
Reinforced	240,000 RF	9,000 RF/t	9	3	Area: 3x3	5	15	Comparable to diamond tools.
Signalum	400,000 RF	16,000 RF/t	10.5	3	Area: 3x3x3	5.5	15
Resonant	600,000 RF	25,000 RF/t	12	4	Area: 5x5	6	20
Creative	N/A	N/A	12	4	Area: 5x5	6	20	Does not consume energy.
