or ArsMagica, where you've got a spell for mining more than one block. That are no mining entities.

Computercraft turtles are the best miners because they are programmable. You can give them any AI you manage to code. You could even give them a swarm behavior with a shared intelligence. No matter how good your minion AI is programmed, it IS POSSIBLE to write a better code and use it with the turtles.
