Pyromining
A mining progression system on top of vanilla mining, with special drops, a mine shop, artifacts, pickaxe upgrades, and underground mini-bosses.
How It Works
Mining and selling
Mine with any pickaxe as usual. Breaking ores without Silk Touch drops special materials along with the normal loot. Sell them at the mine shop with /pyromining:mine shop, or under Mining in /shop. Ore also counts toward the mining job, so the same blocks pay you through the job and again at the shop.
Zeta (currency)
Zeta is Pyromining's own currency, separate from your regular money. You earn it by selling flux, gemstones, and other drops at the mine shop, and spend it on the upgrades below. /pyromining:mine zeta shows your balance.
Artifacts
Some rare mining drops can be identified and developed into artifacts, which give passive mining bonuses. Manage them with /pyromining:mine artifacts.
Vessels
Vessels are Pyromining's pickaxe enchantments. You track and upgrade them in /pyromining:mine vessels.
Singularity (passive upgrades)
Rune guardians are tougher mobs you meet while mining. Defeating them unlocks passive upgrades on a skill tree, managed in /pyromining:mine singularity.
Oracles
Oracles are mini-bosses that appear while you dig. They drop better rewards than a normal ore vein.
Learning more in-game
/pyromining:mine journal opens the plugin's own in-game guide, which covers all of this in more detail.
