Changelog — Ore Resurgence

[1.0.2] — 2026-09-01

This patch makes regeneration safer, smoother, and easier to see.

✨ Live Progress Bar

• New boss-bar overlay that shows what chunk is regenerating, queue size, and ores placed.
• Toggle anytime: /oregenui on / /oregenui off (anyone) or /oregen ui on/off/toggle (OP).

🛡️ Smarter Protection

• Player builds stay safe: Player-placed blocks (even stone) are never turned into ores.
• Claim aware (optional): Works with Open Parties and Claims and FTB Chunks if installed — automatically detected from SoftDependencies. By default terrain in claims is protected, ores still regenerate. Both are separately configurable. Works fine with no claim mod.
• Mass mining / explosions: Large excavations, quarries, TNT and Create drills are treated as player-made.
• Cached: Claim checks are cached per chunk (30s) for performance.

Check any block: /oregen protection status

⛏️ Underground Quarries Now Reset

• Excavations below Y 60 reset to stone/deepslate after the same 14-day interval — perfect for underground quarries and Create pits.
• If a claim mod is installed, players in an unclaimed underground quarry get a warning: “This unclaimed chunk will reset — claim it to protect!” (5-minute cooldown, only underground, only for heavily excavated chunks).
• Disable or tune via new [terrain] section:

[terrain]
enabled = true
underground_threshold_y = 60
warn_unclaimed_chunks = true
warn_cooldown_seconds = 300

🔧 New Configuration

New [protection] in oreregen-server.toml (old protect_player_builds still works):

[protection]
enabled = true
protect_terrain_in_claims = true
protect_ores_in_claims = false
protect_player_modified_blocks = true
protect_player_structures = true
large_excavation_protection = true
large_excavation_threshold = 50000

No reset needed — defaults appear on first launch.

🔄 Commands

• New primary /oreresurgence + aliases /oregen, /oreresurgenceui//oregenui all remain.
• New protection status debug command.

🐛 Fixed

• Heavy Core no longer regenerates as ore.
• Large radius (/oregen regenerate 100) no longer freezes or stalls on unloaded chunks.
