MeowOreGen Issues

Custom ore generator plugin for Paper servers with optional BentoBox support.

Overview

MeowOreGen turns cobblestone-style generators into configurable ore generators. It supports:

• Running with BentoBox island level progression
• Running in standalone mode when BentoBox is not installed
• Per-tier unlock rules based on permissions and/or island level
• Different generator tables for Overworld, Nether, and The End
• GUI-based tier selection and generator enable/disable toggle
• Optional explosion protection that disables generators after TNT/Creeper-style blasts
• Optional integration with Slimefun and CraftEngine
• Persistent player data using SQLite or MySQL

Requirements

• Paper API 1.21.x
• Java 21

Optional integrations:

• BentoBox
• Slimefun
• CraftEngine

Installation

1. Build or obtain MeowOreGen.jar.
2. Put it into your server's plugins folder.
3. Start or restart the server.
4. Edit plugins/MeowOreGen/config.yml as needed.
5. Use /mog reload after config changes.

BentoBox is optional. If it is not installed, the plugin runs in standalone mode.

Configuration Highlights

The main configuration file is src/main/resources/config.yml.

Important sections:

• fortune_level_cap: caps how Fortune affects generated ore blocks
• gui: GUI size, filler items, decorative items, toggle slot, and display limits
• disable_on_explosion: auto-disables generators after explosions
• use_offline_owner_tier: controls offline owner tier behavior
• custom_interactions: custom block interactions such as Nether-style generators
• storage: SQLITE or MYSQL
• generators: all generator tiers, icons, slots, requirements, and rates

Example tier:

generators:
  vip1:
    display_name: "&6VIP 1 Generator"
    permission: meoworegen.group.vip1
    island_level_required: 10
    priority: 10
    slots: [13]
    icon: IRON_BLOCK
    worlds:
      NORMAL:
        STONE: 10.0
        COAL_ORE: 4.0
        DIAMOND_ORE: 0.8
      NETHER:
        NETHERRACK: 50.0
        NETHER_QUARTZ_ORE: 3.0

Notes

• Without BentoBox, island-level checks effectively behave as unlocked in standalone mode.
• Tier selection is stored per player.
• The GUI shows rates for the player's current dimension and hints when other dimensions also have rates.
