This is not fully developed, so use at your own risk. Designed in 1.13.1, also tested in snapshot 19w11b, should work in other versions like 1.12.
You WILL need to use 1.7.2 terrain generation to get the full output from this. It won't be able to blast through the stone in later terrain generation. I don't think it's cheating to use an older terrain generation.
-Uses precise TNT trajectories & positioning to reliably demolish terracotta with minimal item loss. Geometry of TNT explosions tuned to trajectory with good tolerance
-Simple slimestone machine compared to most quarries
-Relative positions between explosions are 7,1,2 (horizontal) and 0,7,1 (vertical) which seems to destroy all terracotta. The vertical skew on explosions is 1/7 while the TNT trajectory skew near the explosion is about 1/5.
-Not high efficiency, but 1.14 snapshots indicate the efficiency will be quadrupled.

![Advanced Block Cloning with Armor Stands & Entity Selectors in Vanilla Minecraft 1.13+
Clone patterns, make circles/donuts/spheres, for testing farms or just messing around. Credit to xisumavoid for showing this for clearing large areas of land, though I dont know which video he showed it.

Something I forgot to mention, for the teleport back to start it detects whether an armor stand is farther than a certain distance, which is easy and works, but not precise. I wouldve rather used dx,dy,dz, but those are awkward. It should also be possible to use /execute (if|unless) block
Some example commands used:
Teleporting armor stands
/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand] at @s run tp ~ ~ ~8
Clone to armor stand position
/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand] at @s run clone 22 62 19 24 65 23 ~ ~ ~
Create armor stand with tag
/summon minecraft:armor_stand 31 59 35 {NoGravity:1,Tags:[lowestlevel]}
Clone dependent on tag
/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=lowestlevel] at @s run clone 22 59 19 24 61 23 ~ ~-3 ~
Replace lever when armor stand a distance away
/execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,distance=60..,limit=1] run setblock 16 63 26 lever[face=floor] replace
Summon area effect cloud (use lower -age to last longer).
/summon minecraft:area_effect_cloud ~ ~ ~ {Age:-1000}
Create spheres at every armor stand
execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=spherehere] at @s run execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,tag=Zdirection,distance=5..10] at @s run setblock ~ ~ ~ stone
More commands are possible.
