Simply Bedrock: Mine Bedrock and Craft Indestructible Gear
For years, bedrock has been the ultimate unbreakable barrier in Minecraft. The Simply Bedrock: Mine Bedrock and Craft Indestructible Gear add-on finally changes that rule. This compact utility mod lets you mine the indestructible block, turn it into dust, and forge gear that never wears out. It is a straightforward addition that fits neatly into both vanilla-style worlds and heavy tech packs.
Core Mechanic: The Bedrock Miner Block
The heart of this mod is the Bedrock Miner, a functional machine that grinds through bedrock over time. The recipe is deliberately cheap, using obsidian, a diamond pickaxe, and a piston. This keeps the progression feeling vanilla while allowing access in the mid-game. The miner accepts any standard furnace fuel, including coal, charcoal, dried kelp blocks, lava buckets, and even sticks.
By default, breaking one bedrock block takes five real minutes and consumes 6000 burn ticks. For reference, a single coal provides 1600 ticks, so stock up before starting. All these values are editable in the config file, letting you speed up or slow down the process to match your preferred difficulty.
Once the process finishes, the miner outputs Bedrock Dust and sends a block update signal. Observers placed nearby can detect this change, which opens the door for clever redstone automation.
From Dust to Infinity: Crafting and Application
Bedrock Dust is not just a trophy. Nine units of dust craft into a full bedrock block. That block then becomes the centerpiece for the Orb of Infinity, crafted by surrounding it with four netherite scraps and four diamonds. The cost is fair, and the payoff is massive.
Combine the Orb of Infinity with any item that has a durability bar in an anvil. The result is an unbreakable item that never loses durability, regardless of use. The upgrade costs 100 experience levels by default, though this is also configurable. Imagine a netherite pickaxe with Efficiency V and Silk Touch that never needs repair, or a bow with Infinity that you never have to worry about. This changes how you approach enchanting and saves enormous amounts of resources on repairs.
Automation and Observer Mechanics
The Bedrock Miner is designed with automation in mind. After breaking a block, it triggers a block update, which observers can read as a redstone signal. Pair this with a mod like Redstone++ that allows pistons to push entity blocks, and you can build a fully automatic bedrock dust farm. The loop is simple: the miner breaks bedrock, an observer fires, a piston moves the miner to the next position, and the cycle repeats.
Configuration and Balance
The config file gives you full control over the mod's balance. You can adjust mining time, fuel consumption, and the experience cost for applying unbreakability. Want the miner to finish in 30 seconds with only 1000 burn ticks? No problem. Prefer the Orb of Infinity to cost 200 levels? That is also adjustable. This flexibility makes Simply Bedrock: Mine Bedrock and Craft Indestructible Gear suitable for both relaxed survival worlds and hardcore tech packs.
Supported Versions and Installation
The mod is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and newer versions, running on the Forge loader. It has minimal conflicts with other popular mods and works especially well alongside Redstone++ for full automation potential. To download Simply Bedrock: Mine Bedrock and Craft Indestructible Gear, grab the jar file and drop it into the mods folder of your client or server. If you use a launcher with a built-in mod catalog, the process is even simpler: search for the mod and click install. The launcher will handle version matching and dependencies automatically.
For those wondering how to install, the standard procedure applies: ensure you have the correct Forge version, place the jar in the mods directory, and restart the game. No additional libraries or dependencies are required beyond the base loader.
Practical Use Cases
- Unbreakable mining tools. Stop carrying spare pickaxes. One Orb of Infinity makes your primary tool last forever.
- Infinite armor. A full netherite set with unbreakability removes repair costs and makes you nearly invincible in PvE.
- Bedrock and obsidian farms. Automated mining yields both dust and full blocks, useful for construction or decorative builds.
- Redstone engineering. The observer-friendly design lets you build complex logic circuits where bedrock breaking acts as a trigger.
Final Verdict
Simply Bedrock: Mine Bedrock and Craft Indestructible Gear is an elegant solution for players who want to break the final barrier in Minecraft. It does not bloat the game with unnecessary content, offers clear progression, and rewards effort with tangible power. The ability to create unbreakable items shifts the survival economy, while bedrock automation adds interesting engineering challenges. With flexible settings and simple installation, this mod fits equally well in solo play and multiplayer servers. If you are tired of constant tool repairs or have always wanted to drill through the bottom of the world, this add-on deserves a spot in your mod list.
