MineralManager

Table of Contents

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.

Mineral Manager Action Shot

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.

Oh no! If you wouldn't mind submitting a ticket I would really appreciate it as those supply me with most of the information I need to solve problems!

I downloaded a fresh copy of the latest MineralVein and started a new server with it using the configuration you posted and it's working fine for me, so if you could submit a ticket it will help me help you faster!

Well... I thought this would be a great plugin for my rp server, but it isn't doing anything, it says its active and functioning properly but the blocks behave as normal...

# Thank you for using the MineralVein plugin!
#
# Add blocks you want MineralVein to manage below along with the
# amount of time in seconds you want them to unavailable for
# once they've been mined and the chance that the block will
# degrade (i.e. disappear).
#
# NOTE: In order for redstone to work properly you must use
# GLOWING_REDSTONE_ORE.
#
# mineOriginalOnly: set to 'true' if you don't want MineralVein to manage player placed blocks.
# usePermissions: set to 'true' if you would like to only allow certain people to use MineralVein.
# useRegions: set to 'true' if you want MineralVein to only manage admin specified regions.
#
# NOTE:
# To allow a player to be affect by MineralVein "mineralvein.mvMiner" to your permissions.
# To allow a player access to '/min' commands add "mineralvein.mvAdmin".
#
# Cooldowns: the number of seconds you would like the block to take to respawn.
# Degrade: the percent chance the block will be destroyed upon breaking.
# Placeholder: the name of the type of block you would like to replace a mined block.
# DisplayerMessages: all messages that MineralVein will display in game.
# onBlockBreak: the message that is displayed when a player breaks a block.
# onBlockProspect: the message this is displayed when a player damages a block already on cooldown.
#
# NOTE:
# To have the message display the block type use '%b'.
# To display the cooldown of that block type use '%c'.
# To display the time remaining on a block use '%r'.
# To display nothing use 'false'.
#
# Thank you for using the MineralVein plugin!

I can't wait! x3 It all sounds so perfect.

And that's fine, I know the feeling.

As for mcmmo support, by that I mean that mining / chopping down tree's / anything else that involves experience with blocks doesn't give experience. It works when blocks degrade, but not when they don't. (And I have everything set to 0.0 degrade) If you can't, then this will have to take priority, but it would be awesome if it did give experience.

I'll definitely keep using this plugin, I think I could even go far as to say this is the most important plugin my server uses :)

Thankyou for your reply, I'm very hyped~

EDIT - One thing I just thought of, currently, if I were to restart the server after editting the config, all of the blocks that were not natural before, all then become natural. Whilst this is not a terrible thing, would it be possible to make 'mineOriginalOnly' keep a log of all the blocks placed 'unnaturally' and keep hold of that even after server restart? Of course, this would have to work with the new admin toggles If it's too difficult, or isn't worth the time then I wouldn't worry about it. I was just stretching myself to see what else I could suggest to make the plugin better :3

I'm not giving up! Just super busy! I'm almost finish re-writing the plugin to allow for easier updating in the future as well as allow for some of the features you all are looking forward to!

Separate Block ID's (Next release)
Admin toggling / creative move (Next release)
Work with mcmmo (It should already, what do you mean?)
Admins place "natural" blocks (Next release)
Temp replacement for each block type (Maybe next release, I had another idea but this might be better)

I apologize for not updating more I really hope you all continue to use the plugin and I really appreciate all the feedback! :)

I love this plugin, please do not give up on it!

Idea's for future releases?

- Desperate need for seperate block ID's of the same type (I REALLY need this for tree's)

- An ability for admins to toggle the plugin on and off for them only (So they can erase certain blocks) Either that or make it so that players in creative can break all blocks and they will ignore the plugin compltely, and won't regenerate,

- Make this work with mcmmo

- And one last request that would top it all off and work well with the above idea, and ability for admins to place 'natural' blocks with the "mineOriginalOnly" on.

- Rather than have the same block take place of everything, why not have the ability to choose a temporary replacement for each block, for example - If I wanted ores to be replaced by stone when mined, but logs by air?

Either way - Amazing work!

I would really like you to fix this bug, because it is so confusing for my players. You can see for yourself on play.dystopia.dk

Problem is that MV has settings for stone, coal etc. However, not every user has permission to break all. If a user without permission breaks a block, it simply disappears with no drop. Then MV will regenerate it after time limit.

I'm reworking a lot of the plugin so it is more modular (I can add things to it easier without breaking anything). But a new update will be coming! As far as making sure it plays nice with other plugins I'll try setting the event handlers to lower priority and see if that has any effect.

Please update this :) My server totally depends on it.

And, can you somehow rethink the way the plugin handles permissions? The plugin needs to regenerate certain blocks, which works fine. However, some blocks are restricted for some users. This is done by another plugin. I sense a conflict here, where Mineral-vein (I guess), simply makes the block disappear (because the replacement-block is air), but the block does not drop anything (probably because the breakage is restricted).

I don't know if this is a problem with this plugin or not.. Im clueless. But, I guess MineralVein should focus on being the lowest priority when checking for breakage.

I hope you get my point ;)

First of all, I apologize for my inactivity. I was very busy with finals and now I'm busy with work but I should release a new update in the relatively near future!

@idy26

This would be a definite possibility, I might also add a command like "/min noregen" to make regeneration toggle-able. Great idea though!

@BtBtDev

There is a list of block types somewhere on the bukkit forum, also I posted it below in the comments but I'll post a full list sometime in the plugin description above.

@GeneralShep

Please submit a support ticket with the relevant information if you could. :)

@The_Texas_Ranger

This is an often requested function and it will be implemented in the next release (which will hopefully be soon!)

@Robertas279

The specific regenerating ores should come in the next release! It will probably be a toggle-able mode that allows you to place ores to manage!

@TruDan97

I'm glad you've found something you like! Currently there is no command to select only ores in a radius to make regen. You could select an area and set only ore blocks to regen which would achieve the same result though. As far as compatibility with WorldEdit that will probably be a future addition but it's not going to be available anytime soon.

Exactly what i've been looking for, for ages! I used to have a plugin very similar way back when it was 1.5 minecraft, maybe even earlier. and that you did a command to select all ores in a radius to regen, is that still possible? Or a command to get a tool, and right click the ores? Or even better, worldedit polygon region compatable? (I have wierd shaped mines) Would these be a possible feature to add?

Would be amazing if you added so we would be able to place specified ores and make them regenerate (if you didnt add that yet im just passing the plugins). With that would be amazing if you added mcMMO Mining levels support, so i could place special ores inside spawn which could only be mined by, lets say, 100 level miner. Would satisfy players to level up and play more. Regards, Server owner Astryx. ;)

I like the plugin very much. The people on my server are very happy with this plugin. However I do request you make a command that remove's an ore from ever regenerating. If there already is one, what is it, and how do you use it?

It would be fantastic if you could include in your next release a permission that bypasses the Ore Restore function. Sometimes when Mods are trying to build on my server they need to clear existing ores. I want to avoid using regions if I can...

Great to see that log types are working! Any news on other block support?(such as leaves?) :)

Oh and yes! Block ID support is very useful for consistency... since There is often confusion in naming the blocks. Such as (Block of Gold) vs (Gold Block). How are we supposed to tell which one you would use?

But this plugin is fantastic, glad to see you're still improving it!
