MineralManager
Mineral Manager
This plugin is designed to allow server administrators to have tighter control over their server's economy as well as introduce new and interesting experiences for their players. MineralManager is the second generation of the MineralVein plugin; with improved performance, customization, control, and reliability it makes a big jump forward from the original concept.
This plugin works by allowing specified blocks to regenerate after they've been broken. From Cactus to Diamond, from Dirt to Logs, admins can control which blocks are allowed to respawn, where they're allowed to respawn, and what should take their place when they're broken. This plugin also allows for a bit of randomness in its regeneration by using a degradation parameter that causes blocks to sometimes forgo respawning when they're broken.
You can do anything from creating public mines near spawn filled with iron and coal that never breaks so new players get started quicker to having secret forests that regenerate completely after enough time as passed. Diamonds would become something for your players to guard and protect rather than something to find, mine and move on. An innocent patch of grass could even have gold ore hidden inside. The possibilities are endless and the excitement is contagious! Make your server unique and fun with this easy, yet intricate plugin.

I deliberately stopped my test server through task manager to simulate a realistic server crash scenario, the bedrock did not regen after restarting. I havnt touched the MineralVein folder since installing/loading the plugin but i can see there is only a config.yml, no activeBlocks.bin

That should definitely not be happening. Do they get stuck on cooldown when you safely /stop and start your server? Also check that you have an activeBlocks.bin file in your MineralVein folder.

Also, seems like every time the server crashes or restarts, the ores on cooldown do not respawn and stay as bedrock

That is a possibility. I'll look into it as I don't think it would be incredibly hard to do. I don't know how much of a demand this has but even so I think people would like this feature. :)
Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it!

Posted Apr 14, 2012Can you PLEASE add the functionality to limit this plugin to some sort of region. I really, really need this for my server, however I also need to have different configuration in different parts, you see!

The permissions are "mineralvein.mvMiner" and "mineralvein.mvAdmin". I apologize, I didn't update the devbukkit post but I updated the forum post with that information. It's also in the config.yml file at the top, along with a brief description of what the permission allows.

You want it to work that when you mine a block with silk touch, then you can place 1 block of the same type and have it regenerate right? I think that would be possible but making it work efficiently might take some time.
I can change the command to be something other than '/mv', no problem. Right now you can also use '/mineralvein' instead of '/mv' I had just forgotten to mention that.
I'm in touch with the creator of Towny and I'm working on a solution to that.

This should have been fixed in 1.2. Have you applied 'mineOriginalOnly:true' in the config?

The players of my server and myself, thank you for your time and dedication! Without your plugin, our server would have dried up long ago!

Posted Apr 10, 2012I've got a Beta v1.2.5 uploaded and am waiting for approval.
Not 100% sure if it will work with Towny now. It should, but I messaged the creator of Towny and am waiting to hear back from them.

Towny:
1. Player A claims a plot. Only he can build/destroy and use items there. 2. Player A has coal on the surface and can mine and collect fine. 3. Player B finds the coal and mines it. No coal is dropped, but the cooldown is still initiated.
My guess would be that Towny is overriding a permissions somewhere. I will do some more research later.
Essentials Blacklisting:
In 1.1 players couldn't place ANY ore on the ground, as they are set as 'blacklisted' blocks. In 1.2, the config has not been changed, but they can now place it.
I think they MAY be a problem at my end, I shall do some more research later today.
Original Block:
Thank you very much! This is a long anticipated feature, and I am very happy that you shall be doing this!
Anti-Silk Touch:
1. Admin creates a 'public mine', so that newbies can get some coal/iron. 2. An experienced player come along and Silk-Touches the block and runs away.
My idea...
1. Admin create 'Public Mine' and uses a command to 'lock' all the ores. 2. An experienced player attempts to lift the block, but is warned 'This block cannot be removed'.
Again, thank you very much for the help. Your time and effort is really appreciated.

I haven't used Towny very extensively so if you wouldn't mine explaining your first problem a bit more in detail I would appreciate. I'll look into towny more on my own but it would be good to get your first hand knowledge on it as well.
MineralVein doesn't work with permissions but I'm working to get that implemented ASAP. Were players unable to place blacklisted ores with previous versions of MineralVein?
@Make it so that only the original block can be mined. Yes, I'm going to be adding that in soon but I will make it an option so if you want it you will need to enable it in the config file.
@Certain blocks cannot be lifted with silk touch. I don't fully understand what you mean by this. If it is what I think it is, this really isn't a part of what MineralVein does but more-so a block protection plugin's job. If I'm misunderstanding it please explain. However, I may make a separate plugin with some miscellaneous features that may include this silk touch disabling in the future.

Posted Apr 8, 2012Okay some new problems/idea.
PROBLEM - Using towny, people who don't have permissions to destroy, can mine the block but not collect. Presumably, they shouldn't be able to mine it?
PROBLEM - I have blacklisted ores on essentials, so that players cannot place them. (To stop iron and gold spamming). Using 1.2 these permissions are now completely ignored and all players can place all ores.
IDEA - Could you make it so that only the original block can be mined? For example. You mine Iron Ore A with a normal pick. You now have ore B, which can be placed and mined again. Could it be so that only the original block can be mined. As in this example; You mine Iron Ore A with a silk touch pick and place it in your home. You can now mine this AND ONLY THIS version as normal.
IDEA - An Admin command so that a block CANNOT be lifted with Silk Touch.
Thank you for all the help by the way. My server is using this pretty heavily right now so it is very much appreciated!

I'm not sure if this plugin is compatible with Orebfuscator but I am aware of a handful of compatibility issues with other plugins so you have a 50% chance it'll work. I'm working on getting in touch with the other developers in order to allow for compatibility and MineralVein will eventually work with all other plugins (hopefully). :)
@SamIngDesign
I'm aware of this issue and it should be fixed in the next release of MineralVein. Thanks! :)
