Ultimate Minecraft Plugin: CustomOreGen

How to Install and Use the CustomOreGen Minecraft Plugin

Minecraft players know that mining for materials is an essential part of the game. However, this process can be time-consuming and challenging, especially in certain game types like SkyBlock where natural caves are not available. Luckily, there is a solution to this problem – the CustomOreGen Spigot plugin. This plugin allows players to create custom cobblestone generators with unique ores or blocks instead of regular stone. In this Apex Hosting video tutorial, you will learn how to install and use the CustomOreGen plugin on your Minecraft server.

Installation

To begin, head to the CustomOreGen Spigot page and click on the download button. Save the downloaded jar file in a location that is easily accessible. Next, access your Apex server panel and make sure you are running a server that is compatible with plugins like Paper or Spigot. Stop the server and log in to your FTP file access. Navigate to the plugins directory and click on the upload button. Drag and drop the jar file into the upload area and wait for it to finish uploading. Once it’s done, return to the main panel using your server name and restart the server.

Getting Started

Before diving into the plugin, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the design of a cobblestone generator. The basic concept involves flowing water touching lava to create a stone block. You can find various generator designs to try out in the guide linked below the video.

Generator Types

The first generator you will encounter is the beginner generator, which allows only stone, iron ore, and sandstone to spawn. This generator doesn’t require any prior configuration or permission setup. Additionally, server operators will automatically have access to the VIP generator, which spawns almost all iron ore. If you want to customize the possible blocks, you can edit the plugin’s configuration file.

Making New Generators

To customize your generators, access your FTP file and navigate to the plugins directory. Find and enter the CustomOreGen folder, then click on the “Edit” button next to the config.yml file. Make the necessary changes to the file and click “Save” to apply the edits. Restart the server to see the changes take effect. The configuration file allows you to adjust various settings, including the blocks that can spawn in the generators.

Commands and Permissions

CustomOreGen doesn’t have many commands, but they can be useful for managing the plugin. Additionally, you can assign permission nodes to players or their ranks using a group managing plugin like LuckPerms. If you prefer, you can also choose to have no node in the configuration, allowing everyone to use the plugin.

Common Issues

If you encounter issues with the plugin, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure the “enable Stone generator” setting is enabled in the configuration file. Also, ensure that your world is not disabled in the same file, as this can cause problems. Finally, double-check that you have the correct permissions assigned to your account or make yourself a server operator to access all features.

Conclusion

CustomOreGen is a valuable plugin for Minecraft server operators who want to make obtaining ores easier for their players. Whether you’re running a server with limited ore availability or simply want to enhance gameplay, CustomOreGen allows you to add any ore you desire in just a few simple steps.
