CorePickaxes

Make mining a progression path. The Miner's Pickaxe levels as players mine, upgrades its material and unlocks enchants bought with essence.

Features
• Pickaxe levels up to 20, upgrading from wood to netherite along the way
• Per-block rules: tool XP, essence, money and a minimum tool level (ores, stones and Nether blocks included)
• Eight enchants: Explosive, Vein Miner, Auto Smelt, Fortune Boost, Haste, Magnet, Essence Finder and Money Finder
• Essence currency for enchants, with a partial refund when disenchanting
• Block regeneration
• Level rewards, prestige with a permanent bonus, and leaderboards
• Miner events with a multiplier
• Pickaxe shop; storage: YAML by default, with H2, SQLite and MySQL options

Requirements
• Server: Paper or Leaf 1.21.11+ (or a Paper fork)
• Java: 21+
• Optional: Vault + an economy plugin (e.g. EssentialsX) for money features
• Paper downloads the H2 database library (com.h2database:h2:2.2.224) on first start, so the server needs internet access once.
• Storage defaults to YAML; H2, SQLite and MySQL are also supported (set storage.type in config.yml).

Commands
• /pickaxe [shop|top|essence|prestige|help] (aliases: /pickaxe, /pickaxes, /pick) – Pickaxe menu, shop and leaderboards – permission core.pickaxes.use

Permissions
• core.pickaxes.use (default: everyone) – Use the pickaxe menu, shop and leaderboards
• core.pickaxes.admin (default: op) – Give pickaxes, edit essence, run miner events, reload, and use any pickaxe
