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.

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.

How server-intensive is this plugin? and can some of the items be changed, say the Wrench?
Awesome. I'll test it when Bukkit approves it and I give you the results.
@Quakthorn
Here we go. It's not approved yet by BukkitDev, so you won't see it here yet. You can find it here though: (if you can access it). I did not fully test it with WG & Factions, but it should avoid the regions the player can't build now. I also reduced some lag for you, and added some anti lag features.
@Quakthorn
I completely understand your problem :P I believe I just reduced lag for a bit, so I'll start looking into support for WG & Factions now. After I've added a couple more features, I'll get out a new release asap :)
Thanks, also, could you look into making so you cant build quarries in faction zones or worldguard zones. If you can, I will gladly use this plugin on my server :D Those are the only things stopping me from using this, I don't want super lag and tons of complaints because someone built a quarry in someone else's front yard :S
Please & Thank you very much :D
@Quakthorn
Yeah I experienced some lag issues too, but thought they were because of my low specs. I'll try to see if I can get it to perform better ;)
Tip: Attempt to make the quarries less CPU stress. It lags my 2GB Ram test server :S
I'm testing it right now on my test server! :D
@Quakthorn
The plugin has been approved, and is ready for download :3
Can't wait for this one!
