Pyromining
Every block you mine counts toward mining progression, on top of whatever it normally drops - keep mining and better rewards open up.
How It Works
Just mine normally with any pickaxe to make progress - there's nothing special to activate. Sell what you dig up and buy upgrades at the mine shop with /pyromining:mine shop (the pyromining: prefix matters here, since plain /mine is a different, unrelated system - the server's timed mine areas). You'll also find the mine shop listed under Mining in /shop, which is the easier way to reach it if you don't want to remember the full command.
Since mining also counts toward the mining job, the same blocks pay you twice - once from the job, once from selling at the mine shop.
Commands
/pyromining:mine shop- sell ore and buy upgrades at the mine shop
