Description

The Concept

This plugin changes how you interact with the most common block in the game. Every time you mine a block of dirt, you have a chance to get high value loot or trigger a dangerous trap. It is designed to be a survival challenge where the rewards get better as you progress.

How it Works

The system is based on four tiers of custom shovels. You start with a basic wooden shovel and work your way up to netherite. Each tier increases your chances of finding rare items and decreases the likelihood of common junk. However, as the loot gets better, the traps become more frequent and more lethal.

Key Features

Feature Description
Custom Shovels Four distinct levels of shovels to craft and use.
Tiered Loot From basic survival supplies to rare end game materials.
Dangerous Traps Explosions, hostile mobs, or heavy falling objects.
Progression Better tools provide better loot but carry higher risk.

Crafting Recipes

Use a standard crafting table to create your tools. The recipes follow the standard shovel pattern but apply custom logic to the finished item.

Shovel Tier Ingredients
Iron OP Shovel 1 Iron Ingot + 2 Sticks
Gold OP Shovel 1 Gold Ingot + 2 Sticks
Diamond OP Shovel 1 Diamond + 2 Sticks
Netherite OP Shovel 1 Netherite Ingot + 2 Sticks
