Player Progression

Mine chains

Mines can form a progression chain such as coal -> iron -> gold -> diamond. A player's active mine and counters are stored independently in data/players.yml.

During progression, AeroMine loads the active mine, sends its palette, updates counters after valid breaks, checks configured requirements, runs rewards, and moves the player to the next mine.

Administration

Use /aeromine player <player> <subcommand> for supported player management operations. Do not edit players.yml while the server is running: an automatic save can overwrite manual changes. Stop the server and take a backup if direct editing is unavoidable.

Design guidance

• Keep the introductory mine requirements low.
• Avoid missing links and loops in the mine chain.
• Test the final mine explicitly.
• Use PlaceholderAPI to show progress and remaining blocks.
• Test economy requirements with Vault and a real economy provider.
