Purpose: Quarries is meant to be a free plugin that allows you to kinda replicate the functionality of Quarries in BuildCraft without the need of a mod. This plugin is meant less for official Factions/Towny/etc servers and more for friends just looking to play together. If you don't know, you lay out a border for the mined area, place down a quarry, and it automatically mines for you whilst you do whatever you need to do away from the mine. It is basically quality of life. I just wanted to see if I could add custom blocks to be honest and thought that this would be an interesting way to test if I could as I would be adding full-size blocks (quarry) as well as smaller blocks (markers).

Requirements:
Test Servers:

⟿ Automatically Mines & Places Items Into Chests: The quarry will automatically mine (even if you're away from the chunk) and place the mined blocks into any storage block such as a chest next to the quarry for you.
⟿ If No Chests, Items Shoot Out The Top: Much like BuildCraft, if there are no free chests surrounding the quarry, the item will be shot out the top.
⟿ Mining Animation: While the quarry mines, it will have an arm that gets animated across its path. It's not as silky smooth as BuildCraft's was, but this is a plugin and not a mod don't bully me.
⟿ Custom Textured Items: Add new items to your server! You now will have a marker and quarry!

⟿ Custom Textured Blocks: Add new blocks to your server! There are other plugins that allow you to add blocks such as this but with my implementation there aren't a billion invisible armor stands everywhere and there is far less lag.

⟿ One Time Placement: Markers and Quarries can only be placed once. If you must break them, then they will not be dropped. This is because the quarry is pretty overpowered as is so I needed a way to make them less OP.
⟿ Not Phased By Water Or Lava: This is meant to be quality of life so the mining bit will drill and remove water and lava without breaking or anything problematic.
⟿ Automatic Disassembly: Break the quarry block and the entire quarry structure will automatically disassemble for you.
⟿ Blue Particles Over Markers: This is small and you might not care, but I thought it was pretty neat to add blue particles over the markers.

⟿ "give 332447": Don't type this as a command. Literally type "give 332447" in chat with the permission node "quarries.give". This gives you the "Marker" item with a default name and lore. I made this so barbaric because I don't want you handing out items through my plugin. I am expecting you to make them craftable and instead of programming custom recipes on my end, there are plenty of custom recipe plugins. Use one of those. This is simply to allow you to get this item with the necessary NBT code so that it shows up properly. Feel free to rename it and change the lore how you see fit before creating a custom recipe via another plugin.
⟿ "give 576161": Don't type this as a command. Literally type "give 576161" in chat with the permission node "quarries.give". This gives you the "Quarry" item with a default name and lore.

1. Incorporate the necessary resource pack! You need to either add the resource pack files to your server's resource pack or tell all of your players to download it manually.
2. On the server's end, setup custom recipes for crafting both the "Marker" and "Quarry" items. If you don't know what these items even are, refer to the commands section to get reference items.
3. As a player, craft 3 markers and 1 quarry.
4. Place 3 markers into an L shape creating the bounds of your quarry. This can be 500x500 large (probably way too big) by default but is configurable by the server.
5. Place your quarry directly facing and touching the middle, corner marker of the L shape.
6. Place as many double chests touching the quarry as you see fit. These are where your mined blocks will go. If there are no chests, your items will be shot into the air and eventually despawn.
7. Wait and allow it to mine. The quarry will automatically mine until it hits bedrock and "breaks the mining bit".
8. Break the quarry block whenever you're done with the quarry. This will disassemble the entire system leaving only your now-empty hole in the ground and the chests holding your items.
