Block breaker

The block breaker is a machine used to break blocks, and either throw them out as item stacks, or place them in containers.

When a block breaker is placed, it points upwards by default. Its direction may be changed by right-clicking it while holding a screwdriver. An item cable or a container may be placed at the back to allow the extracted blocks to be moved into inventories or other machines.

Upon receiving a redstone impulse, it breaks the block directly in front of it, and whatever falls out is sent through the back to a container or item cable, or thrown out.
