With the implementation of this feature into vanilla Minecraft, this plugin will no longer be necessary.
BasicMinerXP
BasicMinerXP is a very small plugin designed to reward miners with xp. By default this plugin will have very little impact on server balance rewarding only 1xp per 5% of stone mined. Dirt, grass, sand, gravel, sandstone, and netherrack also yield rewards but only at one fourth the chance of stone.
Features
- Rewards breaking stone blocks 5% of the time with 1xp (configurable)
- Breaking dirt, grass, sand, gravel, sandstone, and netherrack reward one fourth that of stone.
Bugs and Future Features
Installation
Drop in plugins folder and you're good to go. If you would like to configure the percent chance stone will yield experience edit the "Chance" option in the config. Valid values are 0 through 100. The reward given can also be configured, valid values are 0 through... how much xp can one block give you? ^^
Notes
Though this idea is fairly straight forward, seeing Daredevil's ExpMiner got me motivated to create my own plugin. If you are interested in a plugin similar to this one but with tons more features I recommend Daredevil's plugin. This plugin is entirely original work and was designed as a lightweight alternative. For comparison ExpMiner v1.5.3 is 15,322 bytes where as BasicMinerXP v0.1.0 is 2,009 bytes.
