FAQ

  1. Only ore materials supported?

You can use any block material such as cobblestone, amethyst, or even bedrock

  1. Does it work with plugin X?

The plugin is developed to be compatible with as many plugins as possible. However, not all of them work in a standard way and require extra integration. If your favourite plugin does not work with OreProcessor, please contact me!

  1. What about the cost of performance?

The plugin is super lightweight as it does not behave like Minecraft's ticking system. The plugin has been well tested in production (my server) with ~30 online players mining massive amount of ores per second!

  1. Is there database / multi-server support?

The plugin currently uses GZIP-compressed flat files. It does not support multiple concurrent servers using the same data folder. There is no plan to support database in near future.

  1. I saw warnings/errors in the console!

The plugin will validate the configuration upon startup / when you reload the plugin.

Typically, warnings are shown in yellow, and serve errors are shown in red. You need to read those messages to understand what is going on.

For example, if you got these messages:

[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Unknown material 'raw_iron' in phrase 'raw_iron > raw_iron'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Unknown material 'raw_iron' in phrase 'raw_iron > iron_ingot'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Unknown material 'raw_iron' in phrase 'raw_iron > 80 cobblestone, 60 iron_ingot, 10 gold_ingot, 5 diamond'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Unknown material 'raw_gold' in phrase 'raw_gold > raw_gold'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Unknown material 'raw_gold' in phrase 'raw_gold > gold_ingot'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Invalid material 'copper_ingot' in phrase '9 copper_ingot'
[16:29:33 WARN]: [OreProcessor] Invalid crafting input in phrase '9 copper_ingot > 1 copper_block'

That means you have configured wrong materials / or you are using materials from newer versions on a server running the older version. In this case, you can update the configuration or simply ignore the warning. Any missing material will be ignored by the plugin.

The default configuration contains materials such as amethyst or copper which exist on 1.17+, you will see those warnings on 1.16 and older servers. But again, they can be ignored!

  1. I break the block and it drops normally without moving to the ore storage

There are some possible causes:

  • You are in creative

  • You used a silk-touch enchanted tool and process-silk-touch-items in config.yml is off

  • The item is not present in any transformation group (see: Add a new ore), thus, the plugin is uninformed about that item during drop collection

  • The storage is full but you allow to bypass it (see: Main Configuration)

  • The plugin fails to integrate with the custom item plugin (if the drop is a custom item)

  • The drop is custom (non-vanilla) (in this case, contact me)
