Jodelle Power Mining

Spigot 1.26+ | License: LGPL v3

A modernized PowerTools plugin for Spigot and Paper servers updated for Minecraft 26.3. Adds configurable Hammers, Excavators, and Plows for area mining, digging, and farming.

Overview

Jodelle Power Mining is a updated version of the original PowerMining plugin written by bloodyshade back in 2013.

The code was recently refactored to clean up the listeners, fix concurrency bugs, support modern Paper/Spigot APIs, and add native support for new 26.3 features like copper tools.

Features:

• Hammers, Excavators, and Plows with 3x3 area mining/digging/tilling
• Adjustable recipes via JSON
• Configurable radius and depth
• Permission nodes for crafting, using, and enchanting
• WorldGuard protection support (optional)
• Enchantments carry over from ingredients when crafting tools
• JSON configs instead of standard YAML
• Updated for Minecraft 26.3

Installation

1. Grab the jar from the Releases page.
2. Put it into your server's plugins folder.
3. Restart the server.
4. Config files auto generate inside /plugins/JodellePowerMining/

Configuration

Files are created inside /plugins/JodellePowerMining/

• config.json: Main settings (radius, depth, durability handling)
• recipes.json: Defines custom crafting patterns
• mineable.json: Defines blocks mineable by hammers
• diggable.json: Defines blocks diggable by excavators

Example config.json

{
  "Radius": 1,
  "Deep": 0,
  "useDurabilityPerBlock": false
}

Example recipes.json

{
  "Recipes": {
    "COPPER_HAMMER": [
      "COPPER_BLOCK*1", "COPPER_BLOCK*1", "COPPER_BLOCK*1",
      "EMPTY", "STICK*1", "EMPTY",
      "EMPTY", "STICK*1", "EMPTY"
    ]
  }
}

Each entry represents a 3x3 grid from top left to bottom right. Use EMPTY for blank slots. Format is MATERIAL*AMOUNT.

Example mineable.json

{
  "Minable": {
    "STONE": ["any"],
    "IRON_ORE": ["IRON_HAMMER", "COPPER_HAMMER", "DIAMOND_HAMMER"]
  }
}

Setting any allows all hammer tiers to mine that block.

Example diggable.json

{
  "Diggable": [
    "DIRT",
    "GRASS_BLOCK",
    "SAND"
  ]
}

Recipes layout

Visual recipe reference for crafting:

Commands

• /jpm version: Shows active plugin version

WorldGuard Integration

If WorldGuard is present, the plugin checks build/break flags before breaking surrounding blocks. If WorldGuard is not installed, it skips the check automatically.
