Time to mine!

Get a group together and do what Minecraft was made for. The CompetetiveMining plugin takes 2-10 players and breaks them into teams of 2. A world is created, an area is selected and surrounded with bedrock, the area is then cloned so each team has an identical mining area. The players are dropped into their mines and have 2 hours to mine as much high value material as possible. Each block will be assigned a point value and whichever team accumulates the most points within the time limit wins.

Here's how it works:

• Players join the game using a command and are placed into a lounge to await the beginning of the game.
• The server admin assigns teams or lets the server assign them randomly (teams consist of two players per team)
• Upon the start of the game, a new world is generated, a 3x3 chunk area is selected, the area is surrounded with bedrock, and the area is cloned so each team has its own identical mining area
• Each team is given a "score chest" and "score sign", the chest destroys anything placed inside of it and convert it to points, the sign displays the running total score for the team, and if either are destroyed for any reason the team will be disqualified from the game (a.k.a. protect them from creepers)
• At the end of two hours, the team with the most points wins and is given a configurable reward
• This plugin may potentially integrate iConomy for monetary rewards
