# ⛏️ PyroMining - Guide

### 🍃 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**.

* **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)*
