⛏️ 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

  1. Mine natural ores (Silk Touch is fine, drops still roll; placed ores don’t count).

  2. Sell basics at /mine shop (Fluxes, Gemstones, identified loot).

  3. Open the UI with /mine menu for Shop, Artifacts, Vessels, Journal, etc.

  4. Build a Refinery (dropper facing up + oak fence on top) to process Mysterious Dust and to craft Vessels from Fossils.

  5. 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)

  • Ancient Relic: 7%

  • Shattered Requium Orb: 10%

Refinery also crafts Vessels (see Fossils & Vessels below).

What a Refinery looks like (see below)


🗿 Artifacts → Fossils → Vessels

Artifacts

  • Drop chance while mining: 0.7%

  • Identify at /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

  • Epic: 40 min → $75

  • Exceptional: 60 min → $100

  • Legendary: 100 min → $150

  • 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.

  • Guardian stats: 200 HP, 10 DMG, despawn 120s; may teleport (20% chance), 0.32 speed, 0.7 knockback resist.

Open /mine singularity to spend runes on passive upgrades (costs differ per player and scale over time). Common passives include:

  • More Zeta, Cheaper Upgrades, Rune Drop Chance, Requium Progress, Oracle damage mitigation, etc.

Rune Dust source: Refinery (from Mysterious Dust; 75%), and from identifying artifacts.


🧿 Oracles (end-game side bosses)

  • Summon block: EMERALD_ORE

  • Requires Charged Oracleite: refine dust (level 20+ to obtain), then mine 35 Diamond Ore with Oracleite in off-hand to charge.

  • Minimum levels to summon: Phase 1 → 40, Phase 2 → 45, Phase 3 → 50

  • Cooldown: 1800s (30 minutes) per summons.

  • Broadcast on death: enabled.

Boss baselines (increase by phase)

  • Phase 1: 1100 HP, 14 DMG

  • Phase 2: 1600 HP, 18 DMG

  • Phase 3: 2000 HP, 28 DMG (Each phase can teleport, has movement buffs, and unique drop tables as configured.)

Oracle drops include high-tier artifacts, runes needed for the next phase, Zeta Tears, and other advanced items listed in-game.


🪙 Zeta (PyroMining currency)

  • Earned by mining ores (values scale by ore type) and from items like Zeta Tears.

  • Check balance: /mine zeta.

  • Ore → Zeta examples (per break):

    • DIAMOND_ORE: 350 · EMERALD_ORE: 400

    • LAPIS_ORE: 130 · REDSTONE_ORE: 70

    • IRON_ORE: 25 · GOLD_ORE: 40 (legacy disabler prevents abuse on 1.16.x)

    • NETHER_QUARTZ/GOLD_ORE: 30 · COAL/COPPER_ORE: 30

  • Zeta is used for artifact/vessel upgrades, crafting Vessels, and more.

  • You can withdraw Zeta via menus when needed.


📈 Mining Levels

  • You start at 2000 XP requirement; each level scales by ×1.125.

  • XP per ore (examples):

    • DIAMOND_ORE: 150 · EMERALD_ORE: 200

    • LAPIS_ORE: 50 · REDSTONE_ORE: 35

    • IRON_ORE: 25 · GOLD_ORE: 40

    • COAL/COPPER/QUARTZ: 15


🎃 Seasonal Event: The Unknown (Halloween)

Active Oct 22 → Nov 8

  • While mining, The Unknown can spawn (1.6% chance), with a 30s personal cooldown.

  • Variant stats in config: 300 HP, 7 base damage (variants hit harder in darkness).

  • Time-limited event with special rewards—watch announcements for details.
