Copper Pickaxe
Inspired by AltarSMP.
Base item: Copper Pickaxe
Command: /copperpickaxe [player]
Permission: customweapons.copperpickaxe (default: op)
Resource Pack: Install the AltarSMP Texture Pack - this plugin set is built around it and looks/sounds as intended with it installed.
Cross-Plugin Detection (/weapons)
Every AltarSMP weapon plugin registers /weapons [player], which hands you one weapon from every other AltarSMP plugin currently installed and enabled - a live check each run, nothing to configure.

Fortune and Silk Touch are mutually exclusive, so this carries Fortune III rather than Silk Touch. Also unbreakable.

Abilities & Triggers
| Trigger | Ability | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Right-Click | Copper Vision | Grants Night Vision for 10 seconds, useful for spotting ore in caves. |
| Shift+Right-Click | 3x3 Mining | Activates a 30-second window where every block you personally break also breaks the blocks around it in a 3x3, oriented to whichever way you're facing. Bedrock, portals, spawners, command blocks and other non-survival blocks are skipped. |
Notes
- The weapon is bound to the player who receives it via a persistent NBT tag, so lore/name changes won't break ability detection.
- The activating player is never hit by their own ability's damage, knockback, or negative effects, even for area attacks, explosions and travelling projectiles/waves.
