Quick Start

Quick Start

Get BusyMining running with its default setup in about five minutes.

1. Install

Drop the jar in plugins/ and start your server. See Installation for the full walkthrough.

2. Check which modules are on

Open plugins/BusyMining/config.yml. The modules: block controls which of the fourteen modules load. All of them ship enabled:

yaml 
modules:
  core: true
  gem: true
  economy: true
  flux: true
  artifact: true
  passive: true
  rune: true
  singularity: true
  refinery: true
  oracle: true
  enchantment: true
  journal: true
  vessel: true
  minion: true

Set any of them to false to switch that system off. See Main Configuration for what each module covers.

3. Go mining

Grab a pickaxe (without Silk Touch) and mine ores in survival. Each configured ore gives mining XP and Zeta, and has a chance to drop gemstones, fluxes, sealed artifacts and Mysterious Dust. Creative mode and Silk Touch pickaxes earn nothing.

4. Open the menu

/mine               # the main menu: shop, stats, journal, singularity, artifacts, ...
/mine help          # every subcommand you have access to
/mine stats         # your mining statistics
/mine zeta          # your Zeta balance

/bm and /busymine work exactly like /mine. Full list: Commands & Permissions.

5. Hook up your economy

The Mine Shop pays players when they sell gemstones, fluxes and artifacts. With Vault and an economy plugin installed it pays through Vault. Without them it runs the console commands in modules/economy/config.yml instead. Check that one of the two is set up before players start selling.

6. Keep custom mobs out of the wrong worlds

Rune Guardians, Oracles and Thralls spawn wherever players summon or trigger them. List your spawn, lobby or event worlds under Settings.DisableCustomMobWorlds in modules/core/config.yml, and worlds where mining should earn nothing under Settings.DisabledWorlds.

7. Reload after editing configs

Apply YAML changes with /mine reload (permission busymining.admin) instead of restarting. Database settings are the exception and need a restart.
