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.

What happens when the chest gets full? does it just halt?
Have you thought of using the Blockshub API to support more logging plugins?

@BeMacized
Oh ok. Well cant wait for the height limit support then!
@Drake12374
Thanks man :P
I love this! Great work codepony :D
@robotnikthingy
I tried to support Prism before, and I even contacted its developers to add a feature for manual block logging (Removal and placement of blocks). They said they would add this, but they still haven't, and I haven't talked to them since. Until they do this, I'm not adding support for their plugin.
There's currently no option for quarries to stop at a certain height, but I'll look into that for the next version :P
Will you support Prism for block logging?
Also, is there a config option for how deep the quarries will drill, because I wouldnt want to make things too easy for players :P
@astinax
Thanks a lot :D I really appreciate these kind of video's. I'll make sure to link you in the project description!
Awesome plugin !! I love it ! I made a video showcasing it (in french): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os6Ev8Rsn2o
i am currently running bukkit server 1.52 R1.0 I am having issues installing this plugin. It wont run. i have tried the latest version and the version for 1.5.2 R0.1 does anyone have suggestions
I'm back! Check out my sig for server details. ;)
A proud support of the NextQuarry project!
when I try this plugin it doesn't make the wall for the quarry it doesn't mine ive build the quarry and got all the upgrades for it but it doesn't work how do you fix this
Can you make it a little smarter on where to start mining blocks having it at the default location is not good as when the quarry mines half way and the server stops or crashes their stilla hole. Can you make it so it will only mine the topmost block of that layer and have that the starting location? So it is as smart at BuildCraft.
@BeMacized Nice plugin I going to use it on my server to see how well this works, btw if you come in I made it so the they can only be placed in our mining world to get they hold a compass while your in the nether portal. IP should be bellow.
@theFlaxbeard
You can make the chest into a double chest, and then use hoppers to pump items out. I can't make the chest be placed on the sides, because it would stick out, or be placed where upgrades like the furnace upgrade are placed. In front or underneath the quarry would seem a bit inconvenient to me.
Amazing plugin! One suggestion, make the chest not above the quarry block so hoppers can be used to transfer the mined items.
I'm going to put this on my server as soon as I finish switching it over to my new host. Awesome plugin! :D
