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.

Posted Apr 26, 2012Thanks for the update, I am now using this for my public mine :D. just 2 small improvements you may want to look into whenever you have the time:
- Multiworld support (currently the regions created are applied to all worlds)
- different respawn times for different regions
Keep up the good work!

Posted Apr 25, 2012Fantastic! ty for implementing my request of everyblock :D i look forward to future tweaking like the data values
with regards to Block ID im not opposed to that. It makes it easy for new people to just plug in numbers instead of guessing or forums searching for the EXACT naming of blocks

You can use most of those, just make sure you pick the ones that are blocks and not just the item sprites. I'll go through it sometime and make a list of all the ones you can use. :)
LOG is for the blocks you get from cutting down trees however those have data values associated with them so they won't spawn correctly. YELLOW_FLOWER is for dandelions and RED_ROSE is for the roses. LONG_GRASS is for the grass but that has a data value associated with it so it won't re-spawn correctly.
@DanJLloyd
This is a definite possibility! I'll look into setting up some more verbose config files for future versions.
@Dyspen
Very cool! :) I'm sorry the regions didn't have the features you were hoping for but hopefully I can get something to work before too long.

Posted Apr 25, 2012How do you added: wood, tall grass, dandelions or roses to the list? :P I think an item list would be good :) Thanks

I am building a prison-themed server. The players will advance in different levels of the prison and ultimately gaining their freedom. For this I need something non-boring labour/ways of advancing through the levels, hence I need regenerating mines with specific content. I am trying to build a complex intratrading-system within the prison, hence the need for region control with different configurations. I can do it otherwise, but it will be a bit more complicated to pull of ;)

Posted Apr 24, 2012Could I suggest making the "ignore player placed blocks" for individual ores? So if in future when I presume you add wood, I think it would be great to ignore the player placed blocks for that block only, whereas all ores can still be mined.
Thanks for your time xD

Oh no! I can try my best to push out a patch but I'm really busy so it might not be an immediate release. :( If you don't mind me asking, what're you trying to do with having certain blocks managed in different regions? I'm very intrigued. Haha.
@Master_Zangetsu
Currently no, however I'll update the plugin with support for that with the next revision. I'll simply make it so if useRegions is true, then it will only manage those regions, while if useRegions is false it will manage everything not in regions. :)

Posted Apr 24, 2012awesome plugins thanks!
i see that you have the ability to set a region as managed, is there a way of creating a region that isnt managed whilst leaving the rest of the world as managed?

Posted Apr 24, 2012Oh dear. Now I tested your plugin. I do still love you, I really do... But..
I really need to be able to configure each region individually, hence having the capability to decide which blocks to regenerate in which regions.
This is, from my part, urgently needed! Please!

That's a great idea! Implementing different placeholders for different blocks wouldn't be too difficult either so there's a good chance that will show up soon, thanks! :)
The logs not coming back as their type was an oversight on my part. I forgot that certain blocks have the same ID's but different data fields but hopefully that will be a pretty easy fix! What I'll end up doing is in the config.yml file you'll put something like
where LOG.1 is the LOG with a data value of 1, LOG.2 is the LOG with a data value of 2, ect.
I'm thinking of also adding in support for block ID's along with names, would that be something people want?
@Dyspen
Haha, you're very welcome! :)

Posted Apr 22, 2012Amazing update! I just wanted to ask, Is there a way to have different place holders for different blocks? Would love to see that if it's not already implemented.
Edit: As of right now logs don't seem to come back as their type, although the plugin is primarily for ores.
Edit again: Maybe different properties for different types of logs? ^^

Not currently, but that would be simple enough to implement!
Do you want a command to turn all blocks back to their original block? Or are you looking for a command to just turn back the block you're currently looking at?
You can always just manually change the block if you need to, it won't hurt the plugin at all :)

I think it is the brick block that you make with the bricks you get from putting clay in the furnace. If that's not what it is then I think I may have made a mistake and it's the actual item of clay bricks and not the block, in which case I wouldn't use it or it will crash the plugin. Haha XD
@AnotherP
Yes! In the config.yml there is a parameter called "placeholderBlock" that you can change to be whatever you'd like. If you want mined blocks to just disappear you can set it to AIR and then whenever you mine blocks that are managed by this plugin they will be replaced by nothing! :) I hope this helps!

Posted Apr 21, 2012Is there any way to change what the bedrock block to something else, just making it indestructible. Preferably just make it disappear, and then if someone tries to place a block there it tells them something like "A SAND_BLOCK will reappear in 60 Seconds". Or have that a configurable option, that would be really nice.
This is because I have a desert city on my server, but the desert surrounding it is quickly diminishing. I have been looking for something like this, but if the blocks turn into bedrock I will have a bedrock desert which is weird.
