Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill
The Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill is Ala Industrial's top drill tier: mining speed 12.0, a 15,000 EU buffer, about 300 blocks per charge at 50 EU each.
Description
Charging happens in the Battery Box charge slot, from a worn Energy Pack or from other mods' chargers at 1 EU = 1 FE, with intake capped at 32 EU/t — the LV ceiling. Sneak + right-click flips the switchable Silk Touch drop mode (raw ore for the Macerator, or the block itself), and a plain right-click places a torch from the inventory for 5 EU, preferring an Enriched Uranium Torch. A Drill Column Module can be fitted at the Upgrade Table, after which the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill also breaks the block above and below the one it hits at 75 EU per extra block. The Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill is smithed from the Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill, a Netherite Drill Head and the drill's smithing template; charge, enchantments and Silk Touch mode carry over into the result. Ala Industrial runs on Java Edition only, on both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.

Upgrade Guide
How to get the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill
-
1
Craft the diamond tier first
Build the Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill at a crafting bench: the netherite tier is smithed from it, so the diamond drill is the required base.
-
2
Assemble the Netherite Drill Head
Place three netherite scrap in the top row of a crafting bench, with one netherite alloy ingot, one electrum gear and a second ingot below — the yield is one head.
-
3
Find the smithing template
Search bastion remnant chests in the Nether: the drill's smithing template hides in four loot tables at a 20% chance per chest.
-
4
Smith the drill
Combine the template, the Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill and the Netherite Drill Head at a smithing table — charge, enchantments and Silk Touch mode carry over into the result.
-
5
Charge and start mining
Fill the drill in a Battery Box charge slot or from a worn Energy Pack at up to 32 EU/t: the 15,000 EU buffer covers about 300 blocks.
The smithing template stays in the table after every combine, and one copy duplicates at a crafting bench: surround it with 7 diamonds and 1 netherrack to get two back.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill faster than a netherite pickaxe?
Yes — mining speed is 12.0 against 9.0 for a vanilla netherite pickaxe. The mining tier stays diamond, which in Minecraft 26.2 already covers every block a pickaxe can break, so the netherite tier buys speed, not access.
How many blocks does one full charge mine?
The 15,000 EU buffer at 50 EU per block covers about 300 blocks. Instant-break blocks such as grass, flowers and torches cost nothing, and below 50 EU the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill keeps mining at hand speed for free.
How do I switch Silk Touch on and off?
Sneak + right-click flips the drop mode, with a click sound and a hotbar line. Normal mode drops raw ore for the Macerator; Silk Touch mode drops ore, glass and leaves as blocks, shown by the enchantment glint and the Silk Touch I tooltip.
Can the drill place torches?
Yes — a plain right-click places a torch from the inventory for 5 EU, preferring an Enriched Uranium Torch. Below 5 EU the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill refuses with a hotbar message instead of spending charge it does not have.
Does the column bore work on the netherite tier?
Yes — after a Drill Column Module is fitted at the Upgrade Table, the drill also breaks the block above and below the one it hits, at 75 EU per extra block. The L key toggles the mode on and off.
Is the drill available on Bedrock?
No — Ala Industrial is a Java Edition mod for Minecraft 26.2 and ships for both the Fabric and NeoForge loaders.
