OPOresLoot is a Minecraft Java Edition 1.21 Paper/Spigot plugin that rewards players with powerful items every time they mine an ore. The rarer the ore, the more overpowered the reward.
How it works Break any ore, get a random OP item — silently, directly into your inventory. No messages, no sounds, no effects. If your inventory is full, the item drops at the block.
9 Ore Tiers, 9 Loot Pools Every ore has its own weighted loot pool. Rewards scale dramatically from bottom to top:
| Tier | Rewards |
|---|---|
| 🪨 Coal | Enchanted iron gear, Golden Apples |
| 🟤 Copper | Sharpness 4 swords, Fire Aspect tools |
| ⚙️ Iron | Diamond gear, Efficiency 5, Enchanted Golden Apples |
| 🥇 Gold | Sharp 7 diamond sword, Fortune 3, Totems |
| 🔴 Redstone | Sharp 8 full kit, Power 6 bow, Infinity |
| 🔵 Lapis | Sharp 9 + Smite 5, Respiration, Swift Sneak 3 |
| 💎 Diamond | Netherite gear, Sharp 10, Eff 10, Fortune 4, Mending |
| 💚 Emerald | Netherite + Unbreaking 10, Fortune 5, Protection 10 |
| 🔥 Ancient Debris | Full god-tier netherite set, 8× Totems, 16× Enchanted Apples |
All deepslate variants, nether gold ore, nether quartz, and ancient debris are automatically tracked.
Fully Configurable
Everything lives in one config.yml — no code changes needed:
- Enable or disable any ore tier individually
- Set drop chance per ore (0% to 100%)
- Keep or cancel vanilla ore drops
- Give loot to inventory or drop it on the ground
- Edit every item in every loot pool — material, custom name, amount, enchantments, and weight
Admin Commands
/opores reload— reload config live, no restart needed/opores give <player> <tier>— manually give any tier's loot to any online player
Both commands have full tab completion and require the opores.admin permission (default: OP). Players need opores.use to receive loot (default: everyone).
Performance
One lightweight BlockBreakEvent listener. No database, no async threads, no heavy logic — runs cleanly on any Paper or Spigot 1.21+ server.
