Ore Replenisher

🪨 Ore Replenisher

Ore Replenisher adds a dynamic world-based ore regeneration system where mined ores slowly come back over time based on configurable timers.

Instead of ores being permanently depleted, each ore block enters a regeneration cycle after being mined. The system tracks world time even while chunks are unloaded, meaning ore veins continue to regenerate even when no player is nearby.

⚙️ How it works

• When an ore block is mined, it is tracked by a regeneration system.
• Each ore type has a configurable regeneration time (in minutes).
• Ores regenerate automatically over time, seemingly even when chunks are unloaded (when chunks are loaded again, it will calculate the time since last tick, and continue)
• The system supports full world persistence and multiplayer.

⚙️ Configuration

• Each ore type has its own configurable regeneration delay (minutes).
• Default values are provided for all vanilla ores.
• Supports fractional values (e.g. 0.1 minutes for fast ores, 120+ minutes for rare ores like diamond).

✨ Silk Touch behavior

Silk Touch does not create ore blocks in inventory.

Instead:

• Silk Touch simply removes the ore block from the world.
• The block DOES NOT drop its normal ore item.
• No regeneration is triggered for that position.
• The only way to permanently destroy an ore block in survival.

This allows Silk Touch to act as a clean removal tool without breaking the regeneration system or enabling ore relocation exploits.
