Eternal Ore is a plugin that allows you to set certain ores that automatically respawn a certain amount of time after being mined.
If you're a server owner and you're looking for a new, fun mechanic to add to your server, this is for you! This plugin works perfectly with any gamemode and is guaranteed to be loads of fun for the players!
Ideas for implementation:
- Add ores in your warzone/PvP zone to give players a reason to venture away from safety!
- Create tiered mines filled with ores to encourage players to explore!
- Nerf ore drops to slow down progression on your server!
Regular ores
Currently, there are 10 regular ores that each have their own drops and respawn times that can be configured by you!
Ores:
- Coal Ore
- Iron Ore
- Gold Ore
- Diamond Ore
- Emerald Ore
- Stone
- Cobblestone
- Nether Quartz Ore
- Lapis Ore
- Redstone Ore

Random ore
A random ore is an ore that changes between ores every second. Even though there are 10 ores, you get to configure which of them can appear in the random ore.
When you mine a random ore, you get the drop for whatever regular ore was showing at the time you mined it.
Example: It switches to an Emerald Ore and you manage to mine it before it changes. You get whatever drop you configured for the Emerald Ore.

Mining ores
Whenever you mine any of the ores, they will turn into a placeholder block of your choice! In this example, I have it configured to turn into bedrock.

Respawning ores
Automatic respawning
After a certain amount of time, an ore that's been mined will respawn. The amount of time is different for each ore, and can also be configured by you.

Manually respawning
If for some reason you want to manually respawn ores, you can use /eternalore respawn [all]. The "all" argument is optional. If you don't include "all" in the command, it will only respawn the ore you are currently looking at. If you do, however, include the "all", it will respawn all of the mined ores on the server. Be careful, as this can cause lag if there are a large amount of mined ores.

More on this below...
Setting ores
To set a regular ore, you simply have to hold the wand in your hand left click the ore you want to make respawnable. The block you click must be one of the 10 regular ore types mentioned above.
NOTE: By default, Spigot only loads the world you have set in your server.properties file on startup. This means that if you set ores in a world, then change the name of that world or change the main world in which Spigot loads up, the plugin will throw errors. To solve this, you can either manually remove the set ores in the ores.yml file, or you can find a plugin that loads all of your worlds on startup.
Example: You click a Gold Ore block with the wand, it is now a respawnable Gold Ore block.

To set a random ore, you have to hold shift and left click the block you want to make a random ore. The block you click must either be a Redstone Block or one of the 10 regular ore types, although it is good practice to use Redstone Blocks as random ore placeholders.

Removing ores
To remove a regular ore or a random ore, you simply need to right click the ore you want to remove with the wand and it will turn into a normal, vanilla ore!
