When it does that, it stays in place, strangely sets the block in front of it to air, and when you right-click with a wrench it doesn't react (stays on)

Also, here is what I tested.

			if (TICKS == 20) {
				System.out.println("20 1/2");
				if (!world.isRemote) {
					System.out.println("20 2/2");
					EnumFacing facing_ = (EnumFacing) world.getBlockState(pos).getValue(BlockAutoMiner.FACING);
					int index_ = facing_.getHorizontalIndex();
					int index = index_ == 0 ? index_ + 3 : index_ - 1;
					EnumFacing facing = EnumFacing.getHorizontal(index);
					int index1 = index_ == 3 ? index_ - 3 : index_ + 1;
					EnumFacing facing1 = EnumFacing.getHorizontal(index1);

					BlockPos position = pos.offset(world.getBlockState(pos).getValue(BlockAutoMiner.FACING));
					BlockPos position1 = position.up();
					BlockPos position2 = position.down();
					BlockPos position3 = position.offset(facing);
					BlockPos position4 = position.offset(facing1);
					BlockPos position5 = position3.up();
					BlockPos position6 = position4.up();
					BlockPos position7 = position3.down();
					BlockPos position8 = position4.down();

					ItemStack stack = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack1 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position1).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack2 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position2).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack3 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position3).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack4 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position4).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack5 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position5).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack6 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position6).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack7 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position7).getBlock());
					ItemStack stack8 = new ItemStack(world.getBlockState(position8).getBlock());

					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack1));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack2));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack3));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack4));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack5));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack6));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack7));
					world.spawnEntity(new EntityItem(world, pos.getX(), pos.getY() + 1, pos.getZ(), stack8));

					world.setBlockToAir(position);
					world.setBlockToAir(position1);
					world.setBlockToAir(position2);
					world.setBlockToAir(position3);
					world.setBlockToAir(position4);
					world.setBlockToAir(position5);
					world.setBlockToAir(position6);
					world.setBlockToAir(position7);
					world.setBlockToAir(position8);
				}
			}
			if (TICKS == 40) {
				System.out.println("40 1/2");
				if (!world.isRemote) {
					System.out.println("40 2/2");
					BlockPos position = pos.offset(world.getBlockState(pos).getValue(BlockAutoMiner.FACING));
					world.setBlockState(position, world.getBlockState(pos));
					world.setTileEntity(position, world.getTileEntity(pos));
					world.setBlockToAir(pos);
				}
			}

With the output in the console being

[22:39:18] [Server thread/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 20 1/2
[22:39:18] [Server thread/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 20 2/2

[22:39:21] [main/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 40 1/2
[22:39:22] [main/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 20 1/2
[22:39:23] [main/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 40 1/2
[22:39:24] [main/INFO]: [STDOUT]: 20 1/2

 

Also, by removing the line

world.setTileEntity(position, world.getTileEntity(pos));

It does work, only everything gets reset (duh).

Setting the tileentity like that updates the position of that tileentity. So your next call

world.setBlockToAir(pos);

is already using the new pos - the one you've just set your tile to, the position local to be precise. So it sets the block in front of the original position to air as that is the position it is currenty at.

You should not really "move" a tileentity like that. Either carefully invalidate/validate it manualy as you do or simply create a new one and copy all the data over

Also your code is a mess. There's a half dozen or more variable with names like xxx1, xxx2, xx3, etc. Not to mention constructing facing enums from their index, which is SUPER meaningless.

How'd you do it then?

Changed it to facing.rotateY() and facing.rotateYCCW().

I fixed everything and it's finally working.

But now, how do I get the block it should drop? I have this state.getBlock().getItemDropped(world.getBlockState(position), random, 0) but that doesn't work properly for diorite, andesite and granite, because it returns normal stone. Also for logs, the oak, spruce, birch and jungle return oak and the acacia and dark oak return acacia. The planks all return oak.

Also, how do I cancel lava from being placed?

getItemDropped

returns an Item. Not an ItemStack. It works properly, it just doesn't do what you think it does.

Block::getDrops returns a list of ItemStacks to be dropped upon block breaking. Look at how blocks are dropped as items at Block::dropBlockAsItemWithChance.

Could you please explain a bit better what do you mean by that? Placed as poured from a bucket by the player? As the bucket is an item you can use forge's RightClickItem event. 

Block#getDrops()

 

getItemDropped() specifically returns only an item which would have to be combined with getDamageDropped() or whatever it's been renamed to.

Thanks, it works!

EDIT: Fixed the lava myself, thanks anyway!
