I'm glad you posted as there are a number of solutions to your problem!

• You could set a degrade on the diamonds so that every time they're mined less of them will respawn. So every time your player goes back to mine them there will be less and less until no more respawn.
• You could restrict the amount of "homes" your player has so if they set there home to one group of diamonds then they can't have a teleport to their actual home or any other group of diamonds they may have found.
• You could make the cooldown long enough so that it would become inconvenient for a player to make their home next to the diamonds since it would only be worth it every time they respawn and if you make the cooldown long enough then players will eventually realize its faster to go and search for new diamonds than it is to just farm the old diamonds.

Also any combination of those ideas would work as well. i.e. Make the cooldown a little longer and set the degrade a little higher; or reduce the amount of teleports a player has by 1 and increase the cooldown by 1 day, ect.

If you'd like help picking out specific numbers please send me a private message and I'll do my best to help you set it up. :)

I'm sorry to hear that, and quite surprised! What doesn't work? If you can give more information about what's not working I'm sure we can help you out! :)

What sort of errors are you getting / which version of bukkit are you using? If you could submit a ticket using the Ticket link at the top of the page I would greatly appreciate it!

That's really strange, it could be that they're just unlucky and all the diamond they mined broke permanently. It could also be that another player mined it after it re spawned but I'm not sure how many people you have playing on your server so that could be unlikely.

I'll definitely look into it for you though! Do you know if it consistently happens in a specific chunk or at a specific time? The more information you can give the easier it will be to track down the cause of this problem! Just submit a ticket with as much information as you can using the "Tickets" link at the top of the page.

@Luxius96

What do you mean exactly? Do you want to have only diamond ore respawn? If so you simply create a region following the Setup and Usage Tutorial and set the region you use to have "DIAMOND_ORE" as the type of one of the managed blocks. Like so...

CONFIGURATION:
  world:
    placeholder: 0
    mineOriginalOnly: true
    managedBlocks:
    - type: DIAMOND_ORE
      cooldown: 1800    # 30 minutes
      degrade: 0.05     # 5%

@Geekman64

As of right now there aren't any video tutorials that I know of. I'm in the process of making one myself but if you find any or know any one who is interested in making one please let me know! :)

If you have any questions about using the plugin feel free to ask here or on the forum thread, we're always happy to help.

Also, if you're just getting started make sure to check out the basic setup and usage guide here!

It's something we could consider, I'm not making any promises about implementing it, but I do agree that it allows for a greater control over the economy.

If you wanted a similar effect without generating ores. You can try following these setup ideas...

• If you want a higher quantity of a certain type of ore, and you want it to act as though it was another ore added to the vein you can set the cooldown for that ore to 0, making the ores respawn immediately when broken (if they would), and then set the degrade to 1 - x where x is the percent increase in ores you would like. This effectively adds x percent more ores to every vein, without the need to change any blocks.

It doesn't address increasing the occurrence (or how often you see) of the ore but it at least addresses part of the problem.

@BBFChaser

MM does not have any affect on world generation. What it does do is allows you to control what happens when blocks are broken. You can have it regenerate certain blocks that are broken after some amount of time has passed, and you can have it regenerate some percentage of blocks that are broken. There is a lot of customization but it is fairly straight forward to use.

It seems like it would work in the way you'd like it too. Rather than having a world filled with extra ores you could have a world with the normal distribution of ores, but have some (or all) of those ore respawn. You could even create a public mine with ores that never permanently break instead of having a whole world dedicated to extra ores.

It lives!

A new release of MineralManager is out! Get it here! With a suite a bug fixes and performance updates it's everything you've dreamed of and more!

This update is brought to you by the wonderful crastor, whom without this plugin would still be sitting unattended.
