What is RealMines?
RealMines turns a WorldEdit selection into a mine that refills itself. Pick the blocks and their percentages, choose when the mine resets, and reward players for what they break. Everything is managed from in-game GUIs, and every mine is kept in its own YAML file under plugins/RealMines/mines/, so mines are easy to back up, move between servers or edit by hand.
Features
- Three mine types: block mines, farm (crop) mines and schematic mines
- Reset system: by time, by mined percentage, or grouped into shared reset tasks
- Block sets: several sets of blocks per mine, used in order, at random, or not at all
- Depth ranges: a block only spawns in a chosen slice of the mine, measured from any face
- Break actions: give money, give or drop items, or run console commands when a block is broken, each with a chance
- Private mines: players claim their own copy of a template mine, paid with Vault money and shared with players they trust
- Player stats, achievements and leaderboards, stored in SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQL Server
- Mine signs with a live countdown, remaining blocks and progress bars
- GUI for everything, including a material search for adding blocks
- Duplicate a mine with all its blocks, actions and settings
- Importers for CataMines, JetsPrisonMines and MineResetLite
- On 1.21.6+, native dialogs for typed input, settings and block percentages (uses chat and menus on older versions)
- PlaceholderAPI and RealPermissions support
- Fully translatable through language.yml
- Developer API with events and manager interfaces
Mine Types
- BLOCKS: a classic prison mine. The region is filled with blocks at the percentages you set, and refilled from the active block set on every reset.
- FARM: a crop field. On reset, crops are replanted on their soil at the growth age you set. Supports wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot, melons, pumpkins, nether wart, sugar cane, cactus and air.
- SCHEMATIC: a WorldEdit schematic. On reset, the region is cleared and the schematic is pasted again.
Resetting Mines
- By time: a fixed interval in seconds, set with /rm setcountdown <name> <seconds> or in the mine's GUI.
- By percentage: resets once a set percentage of the mine has been mined.
- Reset tasks: one shared timer that resets several mines together (/rmrt).
- Manually: /rm reset <name>, or from the mine's GUI.
- Countdown announcements: announceTimes in config.yml lists the seconds left that are announced (30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 by default).
- Silent mines: /rm silent <name> stops a mine from broadcasting its resets. /rm silentall <true|false> does it for every mine.
- Reset commands: the reset.commands list in a mine's file runs from console on every reset.
- Player safety: with teleportPlayers on, players inside the mine are sent to its teleport point before it refills.
- Empty servers: resetMinesWhenNoPlayers decides whether timers keep running with nobody online.
- Freezing: /rm freeze <name> makes the mine's blocks unbreakable without touching its timer.
- Highlighting: /rm highlight <name> outlines the mine with particles in its colour, handy for checking its bounds.
Block Sets and Depth Ranges
Every mine has one or more block sets. A block set is a named group of blocks, each with a spawn percentage. The block sets mode decides which set is used on each reset:
- INCREMENTAL: goes through the sets in order, one per reset
- RANDOM: picks a random set each reset
- NONE: always uses the first set
- Percentage: how much of the mine it fills.
