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.

As soon as I launch CraftBukkit
@Conorserver
When does this happen? As soon as you launch craftbukkit with 2gb? a while after it's loaded? or just when it starts loading the plugin?
Lol when I upgrade to 2gb its saying..... Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Press any key to continue . . .
Any Advice
@kuraki
I'll see what I can do here for you :)
I'll be trying to optimize my code as much as possible, because I think this lag is just not acceptable.
Hi BeMacized
I am having overload issues with the plugin. Since one of my users build a quarry my server is having lag issues. Can you help me with this?

@SannyOK
Yay! I really appreciate reviews :3
Wow guy, I will make review of this plugin for Russian users! :3
@Conorserver
Probably yeah. I can run it fine with 2GB on my 4GB laptop. Just make sure you use the latest release.
Thanks but would that be able to run this plugin without it overloading I really want it :)
@Conorserver
2GB on a 4GB laptop will be just fine. That's what I always do :P
I used this and it is a great plugin 5/5 but I run a 1gb server of a 4gb quad core lenovo laptop and this kept overloading it so if this is fixable please PM me with an answer. Or am I able to upgrade my RAM to 2gb and it wont screw with my laptop?
Thanks
@sandtcraft
Sure. Queued for v1.3.0!
Maybe make it so that people can only use it in certain worlds ?
Sounds awesome will try when I get my server up
Version 1.2.0 has been released. If you want to download a copy before it has been approved by bukkit, you can get it of our build service. (Jenkins CI)
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk. http://vps.nextbattle.net:35790/job/NeXTQuarry/
@ryanblm
I am happy you enjoy the plugin :) Regarding your questions: I'll add a feature today to toggle the frames being destroyed upon quarry removal. For the dropping of cobble walls, as long as the quarry is there, the blocks are placed back, and should not drop anything. I'll check on that because they shouldn't drop anything indeed. Limiting the amount of quarries is an awesome idea. I'll try to implement that today as well and I'll get a release out asap.
hey BeMacized
this is an amzing plugin but i have a couple of questions
1) is it possible to make it so that if you break the quarry the blocks disappear??
2) is it possible to stop the cobble walls from dropping when you place the quarry and someone breaks the edge?
3) is there anyway of limiting the amount of quarries anyone can place?, as i am wanting to use this plugin however i am concerned about lag and multiple quarries at once.. and i was going to make it donators only but only want them to be able to place 1 of each tier they have access to...
thankyou -Ryan
@uSoc_lifehome
I did support WorldGuard & Factions in version 1.1.0. So that's out of the way. However CoreProtect & Prism aren't supported yet. I'll try supporting these in the next release. Gonna start looking into those two now.
Is it gonna to be support CoreProtect or Prism? I'm wondering if the griefers will use this to break down the maps...
@Acrynios_
First it was quite intensive, but I believe I fixed that in 1.1.0. You'll need to see for yourself though. Items are currently not configurable, but I'll add that to my to-do list for the next version.
