⛏️ PyroMining - Guide
PyroMining adds new drops, bosses, currency, artifacts, and upgrades to everyday mining. Natural, unplaced ores are what count toward all drops and progression.
🍃 Quick Start
Mine natural ores (Silk Touch is fine, drops still roll; placed ores don’t count).
Sell basics at
/mine shop
(Fluxes, Gemstones, identified loot).Open the UI with
/mine menu
for Shop, Artifacts, Vessels, Journal, etc.Build a Refinery (dropper facing up + oak fence on top) to process Mysterious Dust and to craft Vessels from Fossils.
Level up by mining (XP requirements scale by 1.125× each level). See stats via
/mine stats
.
💸 The Mining Shop (Money)
Sell to
/mine shop
(Gemstones, Fluxes, Artifacts, etc.).Extra server money can also come from normal economy systems like
/jobs
🔥 Fluxes (sellable drops)
Fluxes are simple “cash items.” Sell them at /mine shop
.
Where they drop
Basic Flux - from Overworld ores:
COPPER_ORE, COAL_ORE, LAPIS_ORE, DIAMOND_ORE, REDSTONE_ORE, EMERALD_ORE
Blazed Flux - from Nether ores:
NETHER_GOLD_ORE, NETHER_QUARTZ_ORE
Chances & Prices
Basic Flux: 4.5% chance; sells for $10
Blazed Flux: 2.5% chance; sells for $8
Tip: Fluxes have no other uses, so sell them freely.
💎 Gemstones (sellable with risk/reward quality)
Gemstones drop based on ore tier; you can “examine/grade” a gemstone (right-click) to modify its value by a Quality Multiplier before selling.
Ore → Tier
Tier 1:
COAL_ORE
Tier 2:
REDSTONE_ORE
Tier 3:
NETHER_QUARTZ_ORE
Tier 4:
LAPIS_ORE
Tier 5:
EMERALD_ORE
Tier 6:
DIAMOND_ORE
Base Sell Prices (before quality)
T1 $10 · T2 $15 · T3 $30 · T4 $50 · T5 $75 · T6 $100
Drop Chances (per ore broken)
T1 2.5% · T2 1.5% · T3 1.25% · T4 1.0% · T5 0.95% · T6 0.8%
Quality Multipliers (applied to base price when you “examine” the gem)
Ruined 0.92× · Badly Damaged 0.95× · Damaged 0.99× · Worn 2.5× · Pristine 5.0×
You can sell unexamined gems safely for the base price or risk a higher payout by examining first.
🌫️ Mysterious Dust → Refinery
Drops while mining (any ore): 1.2% chance. Refine dust at a Refinery (dropper + oak fence on top). Fill the dropper (dust stacks fine), right-click the fence.
Refinery Dust Loot Table
Rune Dust: 75%
Oracleite: 4% (unlocks Oracles; see below—requires level 20+ to appear)

Refinery also crafts Vessels (see Fossils & Vessels below).
What a Refinery looks like (see below)

🗿 Artifacts → Fossils → Vessels

/mine artifacts
(time scales by tier; you can also sell instead).
Artifact Tiers → Identify Time → Sell Price
Basic: 10 min → $25
Unusual: 20 min → $50

Fabled: 140 min → $200
Mythic: 180 min → $250
Celestial: 220 min → $350
Divine: 260 min → $500
(Artifact tier distribution totals 100%: Basic 43, Unusual 20, Epic 14, Exceptional 10, Legendary 6, Fabled 4, Mythic 2.4, Celestial 0.5, Divine 0.1)
Fossils
Obtained by identifying artifacts.
Fossil identify time: 60 minutes.
Collect 8 parts of the same creature (skull/arm/spine/rib/tail/wing/leg/foot).
Use a Refinery to craft a Vessel item (costs Zeta + level requirements in-game).
Fossils are the only path to Vessels (custom pickaxe enchants). Craft in the Refinery once you have a full set.
⚗️ Vessels (custom pickaxe enchants)
Craft a Vessel item in the Refinery from 8 matching Fossils.
Apply the Vessel to your pickaxe by dragging the item onto the pickaxe.
This starts a Vessel Progression (your pickaxe is marked).
Progression involves Thralls and a Vessel Boss (see next section).
After defeating the Vessel Boss with the correct Requium order, the enchant is applied.
You can only progress one Vessel at a time per pickaxe. Vessels can be removed via
/mine vessels
for a Zeta fee (returns Vessel items for levels/progress on that pick).
🕳️ Thralls, Requiums & the Vessel Boss
Thralls
Spawn chance while mining: 7% per block (with a minimum 2-minute cooldown between spawns, regardless of chance).
Stats (baseline): 12 HP, 2 Damage; scale slightly with total Vessels on your pickaxe.
Each kill grants Requium Progress (+5.25 to +10.75) and Anger (+1.00 to +5.00).
Anger reveals required Requium orbs slot-by-slot as it fills.
Vessel Boss
Base stats: 150 HP, 2 DMG, scaling +50 HP and +2 DMG per Vessel level on your pickaxe (max HP cap 2000).
Spawns as you mine during progression.
To defeat it, place the correct 3 Requium orbs (order matters) in
/mine vessels
.The boss despawns if an order check fails; Thralls continue to help you deduce the order.
Requium Orbs
Found in higher-tier artifacts and via Shattered Requium Orbs (4 shards → 1 random Requium).
Set orbs for Slot 1–3 in
/mine vessels
.Correct order ⇒ boss becomes killable ⇒ Vessel enchant is applied.
🌀 Runes & Singularity (passives)
Summon block:
REDSTONE_ORE
(right-click with Rune Dust to open the guardian menu).Guardian cooldown: 40s; Rune Drop Chance: base 50%, with XP ×8 on kill.
