Initial release
#General backbone idea (how it works) 
On server startup a global clock begins. This clock ticks every second. Every second a calculation is done with each mine group to check time remaining until the mine resets. If that mine groups time remaining is equal to that of a timing in the remind time list of the config file a message will be sent to all players informing of a mine reset of all mines in that mine group in the time remaining. If that time remaining is 0 all the mines in the group will be filled according to each mines percentages and a message sent to all players and console of all mines reset. Any player who is inside a mine when that mine is being filled will be either be moved the the spawn point as set in the config if smart fill is not enabled and if smart fill is enabled will remain in the mine however the mine will not fill as usual around the player.
When a mine refills it will look at all the blocks for that mine and each percentage. The “fallback” block as set in the config is the default block and is default to stone. The plugin will find the percentage of all added ores and then assign the remainder to the fall back block so 100% of the mine has a block. Then for each block a random number will be generated and the plugin will work out what percentage range this number falls in and place that block. For example if I was to add iron ore at 20% to a mine with a fallback block of stone first the plugin would work out iron ore was at 20% so fall back block (in this case stone) would be 80%. Then the plugin would decide 0% to 20% it would place iron ore and 20% to 100% it would place stone. Then for each random it will find what range it is in and place that block. If the random was 1, 8, 15 or 19 iron would be placed. A random of 21, 84 and 100 would all place stone. This is all done in fractions of a second taking about 0.0000136 seconds per block (my mines of 22 000 blocks fill in sets of 4 and take 1.2 seconds, that is 88000 blocks).
#Quick start guide 
-
Update the default spawn for if a player is in a mine when that mine resets. We will set it at 0.5 64 0.5 facing north in the world we are running the command in.
command: /mine updatespawn Default 0.5 64 0.5 north (Added in 1.0.4)
command: /mine setspawn 0.5 64 0.5 north
(Removed in 1.0.4) -
Create a new mine group called “example” that resets every 30 minutes (1800 seconds) with clock starting 10 minutes (600 seconds) after server start. All mines in this group will reset 40 minutes after first server start and then reset every 30 minutes after that.
command: /mine definegroup example 1800 600 -
Create a new mine called “first” in the group “example” in the cuboid within 0 64 0 and 10 50 10 in the world player is currently in.
command: /mine definemine example first 0 64 0 10 50 10
(easy way to find coordinates of a block is to place a block at the corner, press f3 and find the block location located last in the list of the right hand side of screen) -
Add an ore to our new mine called “first” at 20%. Stand directly on top of the chosen block it and run the command.
command: /mine addore first 20 -
Now you can add the rest of your ores and use the other config commands as shown in the “Commands and permissions” section. You can test your handy work by filling the mine manually and looking at the result.
/mine fill first
#Smart fill (version 1.0.3)
Smart fill is the name I have given to a new idea to filling mines. Normally a mine is filled completely therefore any player inside must be moved. For players this reduces the immersion as they then need to return to the mines. Smart fill is a way around this. When smart fill is enabled and a mine resets it will check for players inside a mine. If a player is inside a mine it will not adjust any blocks within the smart fill radius of that player. Therefore any tunnels, torches etc. will be untouched and that small area will not be re-populated. This means the player will now not have to be teleported out of the mine and a mine reset will not affect the game-play for the player. There is also Smart fill only air setting. This setting improves smart fill further. On mine reset it will do all as before however now the region around the player will be checked. Any block space that is a gas, liquid or a block on the AirBlocks list in the config will be left untouched while all other blocks will be regenerated. Therefor a strip mined area will repopulate where blocks such as stone is however blocks such as torches will remain untouched similar to a world edit mask. Smart fill, Smart fill radius and Smart fill only air is all configured per mine allowing precise control.
#Message channels (version 1.0.4)
There are 3 supported message channels that are configured in almost the same way to how Linux permissions work. The 3 channels can be selected individually or in any combination and are independantly configurable between RESET and REMINDER messages. The 3 channels are Chat, ActionBar and Title. The way message chanels are selected is via adition of the types values.
Chat channel has value of 1.
ActionBar channel has value of 2.
Title channel has a value of 4.
Set the value for your message type to the addition of the values of the chat channels you want. For example if you want ActionBar and Title you simply add 2 (ActionBar’s value) and 4 (Title’s value) to get a final value of 6. If you set your Reset messages to 6 in the config all messages about a mine reseting will only show to players in the ActionBar and Title chanels.
Note: All reset and reminder messages will show in console regardless of settings.
#Mine fill signs (version 1.0.8)
Mine fill signs implement a feature for players to refill mines by right clicking signs. These signs when right clicked will check percentage filled of the given mine, if the percentage of the mine that is filled is below a preset percentage then that mine will reset. This allows players in extreme cases where the mine is rapidly depleted to refill the mine without staff help.
For this to work the given sign must have the text “[Mine]” on the first line. The second line must detail the name of the mine this sign will interact with. The final two lines are not checked and hence can be anything.

#Configuration 
It is advised to do most of the config in game as it can be touchy at times especially with the exact strings of the blocks to add as percentages. Please note however that to change the remind times it can only be done directly though editing the config file and reloading the config (this won’t change the timers on mines). It is also much easier to do some other actions like renaming a group or mine because it does not require deletion and then making from scratch with the new name in game. You may also want to copy item lists for mines as its easier then using the addore command for every block for every mine if you have many similar mines.
