In Infiniminer v1.5's client, which sets each class's kit, every class carries a pickaxe and a construction gun. The Prospector adds a prospecting radar, the Engineer a deconstruction gun, and the Sapper a detonator; the Miner has only the two. The Miner can build its team's solid and translucent blocks and ladders; the Prospector adds its team's beacon, and the Sapper explosives. The Engineer builds its team's solid block, both teams' translucent blocks, road, ladder, jump and shock blocks, and its team's beacon and bank. The server never reads the class when a tool is used (see build-no-class-check), so these lists hold only in the client. infiniminer/class-kits

A gold or diamond block stays put while the player's loot is full; an ore block is dug even when the player's ore is full, and its ore is lost. infiniminer/pickaxe-dig

In Infiniminer v1.5 the construction gun reaches 6 blocks along the player's view and puts the block in the last empty cell before the first solid one it meets. It fails when nothing is in reach, when the player carries less ore than the block costs, when a player stands in the cell (at feet or head height), at the map's edge, or when the surface aimed at is lava. On success it takes the whole cost from the player's ore; a sandbox server charges nothing. infiniminer/build-placement

In Infiniminer v1.5 the detonator, which the client offers only in the Sapper's kit, sets off every explosive that player placed. Each clears the 5 × 5 × 5 cube around it of rock, dirt, ore, solid and translucent blocks, ladders, shock and jump blocks, road, and lava, and sets off any explosive inside it.

In Infiniminer v1.5 a player's loot is banked on its own once the player is within 8 blocks of the top of the 64-block map: its cash goes to the team and the player's loot empties. The first team to bank the server's winning amount, $10,000 unless the server's config sets another, wins (Blue, if both teams reach it in the same pass), and the server restarts on a new map 10 seconds later. On a sandbox server team cash doesn't count and nobody wins, but banking still adds to the player's own score and empties the player's cash and loot. infiniminer/cash-and-win
