Ore Mining Speed is a lightweight Paper plugin that lets you tune mining difficulty per block through config rules.
Set custom multipliers for any pickaxe-mineable block, including wildcard patterns like DEEPSLATE* or namespaced keys like minecraft:copper*. Exact rules and wildcard rules can be mixed, so you can define broad defaults and override specific blocks.
Configuration is generated automatically on first startup and can be reloaded in-game with /orespeed reload.
Command:
/orespeed reload
(permission: mcorespeed.reload or op) - reloads configuration on the fly
Configuration example (also default config):
# multiplier semantics:
# finalBreakSpeed = vanillaBreakSpeed * multiplier
# examples:
# 2.0 = twice as fast
# 0.5 = twice as slow
block-speed-multipliers:
# default rule: applies to all blocks whose key starts with "deepslate"
# examples matched: DEEPSLATE, DEEPSLATE_COAL_ORE, DEEPSLATE_TILES, etc.
DEEPSLATE*: 2
# exact match using enum style
# DEEPSLATE_DIAMOND_ORE: 1.7
# namespaced wildcard also works
# minecraft:copper*: 0.8
