HGensPickaxe

The ultimate pickaxe and mining core for Tycoon servers.

HGensPickaxe is built for Gens, Prison, and Skyblock Tycoon servers that need more than a basic custom pickaxe plugin. Instead of combining several separate plugins for mining, progression, and mine resets, HGensPickaxe brings everything together in one optimized core.

From pickaxe leveling and prestige systems to a fully integrated mine reset system, the plugin is designed to stay smooth even under heavy mining activity. It uses PacketEvents for fast and responsive visual block breaking.

Why choose HGensPickaxe?

• All-in-one core for Tycoon-style mining servers.
• Pickaxe leveling, player leveling, and prestige progression.
• Integrated mine system with automatic regeneration.
• Optimized explosive enchants and packet-based visual mining.
• Fully configurable formulas, GUI layout, messages, and item appearance.
• NBT-based item storage for safer custom pickaxe handling.

Features

Advanced progression system

• Pickaxe Leveling – Pickaxes gain XP and level up while players mine.
• Player Levels – Includes a separate player-based leveling system.
• Prestige System – Players can reset progress for prestige rewards, upgrades, and chat tags.
• Configurable Math – XP requirements, upgrade costs, and scaling can be fully edited in config.yml.

10+ custom upgrades

Players can upgrade their pickaxe through a fully customizable GUI using tokens or money.

Available upgrades include:

• Money Multiplier – Increases sell value.
• Token Multiplier – Boosts token rewards from mining.
• Explosive – Breaks a sphere of blocks instantly.
• Key Finder – Gives a chance to find crate keys while mining.
• Passive Effects – Grants effects like Speed and Haste while holding the pickaxe.
• Fortune – Increases block drops.
• XP Boosts – Speeds up leveling.
• AutoSell – Automatically sells mined blocks with Vault support.

Integrated mine system

Forget using a separate mine reset plugin.

HGensPickaxe includes its own mine management system with:

• Fast mine creation using /mine wand
• Region-based mine setup
• Configurable mine block types
• Manual and automatic regeneration
• Packet-based visual block breaking to reduce ghost blocks and desync

Fully customizable

• Supports hex colors and gradients
• Customizable GUI slots and layout
• Editable messages and item formatting
• Safe NBT-based data storage
• Pickaxes remain valid even if display names are changed later
