NeXTQuarry
NeXTQuarry adds quarries to your server, without having your players required to have any mod installed. They can have several sizes & upgrades.
Note: I love to hear it when people run my plugin, so if you run this on your server, feel free to drop the ip in the comments, or send it to me by PM, and I might come take a look :)
What are they?
They are machines that dig out a big area for resources. These allow the player to go do other things while the machine mines for them. As convenient as it is, it also comes with some drawbacks of course. They are quite expensive to build, and require coal as fuel to be able to run. They won't do anything without it. Without any speed upgrades, they are also quite slow. The plugin tries to keep gameplay as balanced as possible.

Recipe time!
Quarry: Tier 1
This is a tier 1 quarry. It is 18 by 18 blocks, and digs a hole of 16 by 16 blocks.
Quarry: Tier 2
This is a tier 2 quarry. It is 34 by 34 blocks, and digs a hole of 32 by 32 blocks.
Quarry: Tier 3
This is a tier 3 quarry. It is 50 by 50 blocks, and digs a hole of 48 by 48 blocks.
Fuel Injector
Right click any quarry with this item, to open its fuel bay, and insert coal!
Quarry Wrench
Right click any quarry with this item, to open up the upgrade slots, and insert your upgrades!
Speed Upgrade
With this upgrade, your quarry will become faster! (but run out of fuel faster as well). Max. 3 per quarry.
Chest miner upgrade
With this upgrade, your quarry will mine the contents, of any chest it finds! Nice for looting dungeons! Max. 1 per quarry.
Fuel Finder Upgrade
With this upgrade, your quarry will automatically put the coal it finds in its fuel bay, if there is room. This way it will hopefully run for longer without refueling! You will mine less to no coal though. Max. 1 per quarry.
Fuel Efficiency Upgrade
With this upgrade, your quarry will last longer on the fuel it has. It will consume less, and do more work instead. Max 3 per quarry.
Smelter Upgrade
With this upgrade, your quarry will automatically smelt ores it finds. It uses the same amount of fuel a normal furnace does. This efficiency can be increased using the fuel efficiency upgrades. Max 1 per quarry.
Liquid Miner
This upgrade allows the quarry to fill any empty buckets in its chest with liquids it finds. If there aren't any, or if there is no room, the liquid will just be lost instead. Max 1 per quarry.

Awesome people who supported the plugin:

- TheAlmightyLlama
- Matecraft
@piritacraft
I'll look into that.
I need it be compatible with Griefprevention plugin.
we use the plugin Jamrycraft.nn.pe:25582
@blopnuts
@EightBitPixel
That's odd. I assume you're using version 1.7.1?
Give me some time to check it over, once I have a fix for you guys I'll release it.
@EightBitPixel
im having the same problem, place a quarry block, nothing happens?
For some reason the quarry isn't working idk why?
@twetwetwetwe
Yep!
so does this destroy all ground under it to give you the ores and all that???
@IcyCaress
They're quite picky about their submission guidelines. For people downloading their plugins here, it's ofc a good thing, as everything they download will be safe, and all features would be documented, but it's a pain for the devs and the people who require quick updates. If you REALLY can't wait, you could always grab the source in the GitHub repository, and compile the plugin yourself. Can't make it any faster, sorry.
Damn Bukkit enjoys taking it's time with the plugins I want... This is the third plugin. -.-
@YiveMe
For Factions & WorldGuard, it will take the permissions from the quarry's owner. I did not implement support for Lockette yet, so I'm afraid it will just bypass protections supplied by that plugin. I will add support for that plugin in a later version, if possible.
Before I add this to my server I just want to know if it can bypass these protections; Lockette, Factions and worldguard.
Okay, many thanks. It is an interesting prospect.
@IcyCaress
The file has been submitted 2 days ago, but it's still on the bukkitdev review queue. We can't do anything about this. The update is done, but you will only be able to download it once the bukkitdev staff has checked the plugin. We don't have any control over that, so I gues you'll just have to wait until they have checked the update, and make it publicly available.
ETA on the update?
Hey everyone, it's not bemacized, but Wouto1997 here.
BeMacized has given me the task to update this plugin, and I've basically finished doing so, the only problem is, is that I still need the factions plugin to update before I can recompile and send it out. The LogBlock plugin appears to be 1.4.7, but they say that it works with 1.6.2 so I assume that that's the case.
I'll do my best to keep trying frequently to see if I can publish this plugin for 1.6.2.
@Vahh @firepower416 @IvanSokolovBG Yep, it's outdated! 1.6.2 didn't release before I went on vacation, so I didn't have any chance to update it yet! I'm going to try to update it now to 1.6.2 really quick (Found WiFi in a bar here somewhere), so I hope you guys have it in a few hours. (Bukkit approval times. yay)
@CommodoreAlpha @KingLucifer I indeed don't plan on including a pipe system in the plugin. The quarries automatically dump their stuff into a chest, so any other plugins which support chests with their pipe system, should be able to work with this. I'm not trying to replicate buildcraft. The chest on top of the quarry can be made into a double chest by putting a chest next to it. That way you can use a hopper to get items out of it. I'm not planning to move the current location for the chest. I do like the sound feature you suggested. I'll go see what fits best, and implement that in the next version!
@Barnsey3017 Indeed, it's currently offline. I do not have any place to host my CI server, so i'll put that back up once I get some hosting again.
I'll still be on vacation for like 2-3 more weeks, so I'm not sure how fast I can supply you guys with new versions/features, but I'll certainly do my best!
Just curious I've just opened my own bukkit server for my family and a few close friends and i recently (after opening) Quit playing FTB i would love this plug-in on my server and tested it on 1.6.1 works lovely (used multiMC to test). I'm just curious if your planning on updating to 1.6.2 and when i can expect a release date. Again tho ty for this plugin it pretty damn awesome for a bukkit plugin :)
@KingLucifer
Let's not turn the plugin into Buildcraft with pipes. I've already got two plugins with pipes (MachinaCraft and CraftBook), so having a third one with pipes would be too much. :P
OMFG i love this plugin i have a few Sugestions to make
1.can u add pipeing to move the Items from the Chests (pipes can me a nother Crafting Resupie)
2. if 1 is not doable can u make the chest apear next to the querry or in such a way that hoppers can be used to automate it
3.add noise (like the hissing sound every time it moves)
4. make it possable to customise the hight of the (querry block) hight to enable Crazy Mechines :P
Srry for my Bad Spelling i own a steampunk Style Server and this plugin fits in nicely :P
