Add automated mining to your server!
if you're updating from version 4.4.0 or lower, you may want to read this
Place 2 iron blocks, a furnace, a chest and a diamond block like this:
Put some fuel in the furnace, and right click the drill head (Iron/Diamond/Emerald block) with your drill tool.
The drill should start mining now, and will be putting the items in the chest.
The drill will always check the block under the furnace, and the one in the direction its mining compared to the one under the furnace before moving.
If either of these blocks are air, or liquid, it stops.
Sizes:
Drillheads:
In the config look for the option called 'DrillSizes'
By default it will contain:
DrillSizes:
Default:
Height : 3
Width : 3
WidthOffset : Auto
You can add as many different sizes as you want, as long as the names are different.
DrillSizes:
Default:
Height : 3
Width : 3
WidthOffset : Auto
NotDefault:
Height : 5
Width : 5
WidthOffset : Auto
Height and width is pretty self-explanatory.
WidthOffset: If you dont want to bother with this, keep it at auto.
I left it as an option for people that want to use 4x4 etc. and want to control which direction it goes 1 extra block.
for 3x3 its -1, for 5x5 its -2 etc.
Feel free to play around with it, but auto should work in most cases.
By default it will contain:
Code (YAML):

Drillheads:
By default, the section will look like
DrillHeads :
# Material of the drill head. materials: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html
# Make sure the material you use is a block and not an item, otherwise it may cause issues or not work.
EMERALD_BLOCK :
# If its silktouch or not.
SilkTouch : true
# The fuel modifier for moving.
FuelModifier : 1.2
# How much fuel digging 1 block costs.
DigFuelCost : 12
# All permissions will look like rampen.drills.<whatever you put>
# Remove to make it not require any permissions.
Permission : silk
# Which size preset the drillhead will use. If removed or invalid, it will use Default.
Size : Default
# Normal delay is used for most blocks, LongDelay is for the materials in SlowBlocks.
NormalDelay : 8
LongDelay : 45
# Materials of blocks where the drill will use the long delay instead of short delay. Remove to use the default, which is only obsidian.
SlowBlocks :
- 'OBSIDIAN'
# The different drill shapes that this drill head works with. Defaults to all if removed.
#DrillShapes:
#- 'all'
IRON_BLOCK:
SilkTouch : false
FuelModifier : 0.5
DigFuelCost : 2
NormalDelay : 16
LongDelay : 70
DIAMOND_BLOCK:
SilkTouch : false
FuelModifier : 1
DigFuelCost : 10
NormalDelay : 10
LongDelay : 50
With this you can also add your own drillheads.

EMERALD_BLOCK:
SilkTouch : true
FuelModifier : 1.2
DigFuelCost : 12
Permission : silk

LongDelay : 50
COBBLESTONE:
SilkTouch : false
FuelModifier : 2
DigFuelCost : 30
NormalDelay : 30
LongDelay : 100
Size : NotDefault
You can remove the options Permission, DrillShapes, Size and SilkTouch and it will just use default values.
Drillshapes:

Drillshapes:
The available drillshapes are default, placement, ender, and enderplacement.
default is the standard drill in the images.
placement is the same but with gold blocks at the side, this is the drill that can place blocks.
ender and enderplacement is the same as above, but uses their enderchest instead of the normal chest.
large & largeplacement is the drill using a double chest.
If you have any questions or need help with the plugin, the best way to contact me is
discord.
