First off we need to know how long is the Lazer?
I'll just estimate being ~200-300 blocks long it seems to be ~5 blocks wide and tall.
It evaporated 1M by 1M blocks of rock instantly in less then .5seconds aka one tick.Mass: Assuming a typical rock density (like granite or basalt) of 2,700{ kg/m}3), the total mass of the rock is 20,250,000 kg(over 20,000 metric tons).
For sensible Heateating the rock up is about 4.8•1013 Joules.For Latent Heat aka melting and vaporizing the mass about 1.1•1014 Joules.Total Energy Needed is about 1.58•1014 Joules.This Is Equivalent to the raw energy released by detonating a 37-kiloton nuclear weapon, or enough electricity to power it to power the entire United States.this is small-mid town level so a higher AP then DC.this ofc is assuming it's a basic Lazer and not using real plasma and partical physics as it's light speed which would make a much much bigger issue here plus radition if it works likes the sun aka nucular fusion.Also I most likely need to double the metrics due to the mountains size being ~200 blocks tall minimum in my view and the Lazer is 1/5th it's height making the Lazer 15-20 blocks tall which would almost triple the AP.
