A simple way of changing the default cobblestone generator
Before getting started, you need to have one of these plugins installed on your server:
The whole configuration is made through the GUI or alternatively by using commands.
The plugin allows you to customize different generator presets for certain permission, thus, for instance, you're able to create a default generator generating cobblestone and a vip generator creating cobblestone and gold:
Generator #1 was set up with the permission oregen.default
and Generator #2 with oregen.vip
, therefor you need to provide the respective permission to your players.
Assuming the island owner has the permission oregen.vip
and mines at a cobblestone generator, then the player will get the last configuration preset for which the player has permission for.
That means the plugin basically iterates from left to the right and checks if the player has permission and stops at the last generator the player has permission for.
Moreover, the plugin chooses the generator by the island owner's permission, not by the player that is mining.
When clicking the repeater (4), the plugin will turn into level mode. Level mode means that the corresponding generator is choosen by the corresponding island level of the owner.
You can add new generators and it's permission by typing the following exemplary commands, or by selecting the wooden button item in the main GUI(3).
/oregen generator add default oregen.default
/oregen generator add vip oregen.vip
where default
and vip
are the name of the generator preset and oregen.default
and oregen.vip
the permission.
After that, you may edit both generators by typing this command:
/oregen edit
Now the GUI where you can choose the generator which you want to edit appears. (See last image).
Another GUI will pop up if you select a generator where you can put the blocks you want to be generated:
The emerald indicates the current percentage, which should always be at 100.0, otherwise the plugin wouldn't work correctly.
Let's say we want this generator to create 50% cobblestone and 50% iron ore, we need to proceed the following steps:
Now you're ready to use the generator and you should now be able proceeding the same steps for the VIP generator!
Since version 1.3.2, AdvancedOreGen includes a nice anti afk feature that allows you to give players who are mining AFK another generator. AFK means, that the player doesn't change his position during mining. You can enable this by uncommenting the following lines in your config.yml:
#afk-generator-name: afk
#afk-after-x-seconds: 1200
By default, the player is handled as AFK after 20 minutes. Keep in mind that you need to set up an AFK - Generator, which should have the afk-generator-name, the permission is inconsequential.
AdvancedOreGen caches the player permissions for keeping the same cobblestone generator after an owner of an island leaves the server. You can see an example here:
The plugin uses the PlaceholderAPI and registers three different identifiers that display the current specifiations from a player's generator.
Name | Placeholder | Description |
---|---|---|
Generator name | %oregen_generator.label% | Displays the generator name |
Unlock island level | %oregen_generator.level% | Displays the island level needed to unlock this generator |
Unlock permission | %oregen_generator.permission% | Displays the permission needed to unlock this generator |
Reference: Current generator config of a player
There're some commands for managing and editing different generators, but as already said, you can purely use the GUI!
Command | Permission | Description |
---|---|---|
/oregen edit | advancedoregen.admin | main GUI, lets you add new generators and edit other generators |
/oregen edit name> | advancedoregen.admin | directly edits a generator |
/oregen generator add [level] | advancedoregen.admin | adds a new generator |
/oregen generator remove | advancedoregen.admin | removes a generator |
/oregen generator set [island level] | advancedoregen.admin | modifies an existing generator |
/oregen setmode [permission/islandlevel] | advancedoregen.admin | sets the criteria for choosing a generator regarding the permission of the island leader, or the island level. Default: permission |
