This is a plugin that adds a fully customizable drop in your caves and mines: when you mine a stone, you may get one of the items that represent new ore.
You can't know for sure if an ore will fall out of a stone, because the stones don't hint at it in any way, so it's always a surprise to you.
The ore in this plugin is not just trinkets. Put two pieces of ore of the same type in 2 anvil slots to turn them into useful items. For example, 2 Rearden Metal will turn into 2 artificial ender pearls. They are essentially normal ender pearls, but with a different name and description. All of this you can customize, and even the commands that will be executed when mining the ore.
Spoiler: What you can customize in the ore

Spoiler: How to turn ore into useful things
To turn an ore into useful items, put 2 ores of the same type in both anvil slots, and then they will automatically be converted into new items. In the screenshot, these 2 ores in both slots will be replaced with "artificial ender pearls".
(Not all ores are converted by default. An exception is, for example, a piece of gold. But you can customize this).
I assume that most likely this mechanic will be improved in the near future.

Spoiler: Config
chance_multiplication is the percentage value. If you set it to 0, then you will receive absolutely all ores every time you break a stone. 100 is the default value. If you make, for example, 1000, then the ore will fall less often
active_ore is the maximum index. If you have a maximum index of 10, but there is an ore with an index of 11, then this ore will not fall. Do not make this value greater than your maximum ore index.
active_ore is the maximum index. If you have a maximum index of 10, but there is an ore with an index of 11, then this ore will not fall. Do not make this value greater than your maximum ore index.
