Pickaxe Enchants — 35 Built-In Enchants for JPPrison

JPPrison’s pickaxe system is built around 35 data-driven enchants — each with its own levels, upgrade costs, unlock requirements, activation effects, and an optional per-enchant prestige track. Everything is defined in YAML, so you can tune, disable, or extend any enchant without touching server code.

Enchant Categories

Break-Type Enchants (Area Mining)

These enchants replace or augment the standard single-block break with multi-block effects. Each one has progressive animations, particle bursts, and full sell/XP rewards for every block destroyed.

Enchant	Effect
Explosive	Detonates a configurable-radius sphere around the target block
Nuke	Clears a large cubic area instantly
Thunder	Calls a lightning strike that radiates outward in a burst pattern
Meteor	Drops a falling-block projectile that excavates on impact
Cross	Mines a plus-shaped cross through the vein face
Layer	Removes an entire horizontal layer at once
Solar	Emits a radiant beam that burns through multiple layers
Frost Nova	Freezes and shatters blocks in a widening ring
Geyser	Erupts upward through a column of blocks
Soul Spiral	Carves a spiral tunnel outward from the impact point
Comet	Launches a projectile that punches through walls on impact
Volcano	Triggers an upward eruption, clearing blocks above the strike
Blackhole	Implodes a sphere of blocks toward a central point
Aurora	Sweeps a curved arc through the mine face
Sandstorm	Disperses blocks in a wide, chaotic horizontal swath
Apocalypse	The ultimate break enchant — clears a massive area with full visual effects

Passive & Utility Enchants

These enchants apply persistent buffs and bonuses rather than triggering on each block break.

Enchant	Effect
Haste	Increases mining speed passively while the pickaxe is held
Fortune	Multiplies block drop quantities for higher sell value
Experience	Boosts XP earned per block mined
Sellboost	Applies a flat sell-price multiplier to all autosell income
Token Forge	Increases Tokens earned per block
Gem Seeker	Increases chance of Gems dropping on mine
Lucky Break	Random chance to trigger a bonus payout on any block
Auto-Smelt	Smelts ore drops automatically before selling
Efficiency Aura	Reduces the cooldown between break-type enchant activations
Scavenger	Recovers bonus blocks from the rubble of area enchants
Overcharge	Temporarily amplifies the next break enchant’s radius

The exact list of passive enchants in your server depends on your plugins/JPPrison/enchants/ folder. Any enchant YAML file in that folder is loaded at startup — you can add, remove, or replace them freely.

Upgrading Enchants

Players upgrade enchants directly from the pickaxe upgrade menu:

Right-click the pickaxe while holding it.
The upgrade GUI opens, showing every enchant with its current level, next level cost, and unlock status.
Click an enchant to purchase the next level — cost is deducted immediately.

Upgrade costs are configured per-enchant using a base cost and a growth multiplier. For example, if base is 500 tokens and growth is 1.15, level 2 costs 575, level 3 costs 661, and so on. You can also enforce unlock level requirements on any enchant. A player must reach the configured /prison level before the enchant even appears as available in the menu. For example:

“You must reach Level 50 before unlocking the Nuke enchant.”

This gates late-game power behind progression and keeps new players from skipping the early mine tiers.

Enchant Prestige

Each enchant supports its own prestige track, independent of the global pickaxe prestige. When a player prestiges an individual enchant:

That enchant’s level resets to 1.
The player pays a one-time prestige cost (configured in the enchant YAML).
A permanent per-enchant multiplier bonus is applied to that enchant’s output.

Enchant prestige stacks with global prestige — a fully prestiged enchant on a fully prestiged pickaxe compounds both bonuses.

Per-Enchant Prestige vs. Global Prestige

	Per-Enchant Prestige	Global Pickaxe Prestige
Scope	One enchant resets	Entire pickaxe level resets
Bonus	Multiplier on that enchant’s specific output	Multiplier across all economy earnings and XP
Command	Via the pickaxe upgrade GUI	`/prison prestige`
Config location	Each enchant’s YAML file	`config.yml`

Both systems can be active simultaneously and their bonuses multiply together.

Configuring Enchants

Every enchant is a standalone YAML file in plugins/JPPrison/enchants/. Here is an annotated example for the Explosive enchant:

id: explosive
name: "Explosive"
max-level: 100
unlock-level: 1       # Prison level required to unlock this enchant
costs:
  type: tokens        # Economy used for upgrade costs
  base: 500           # Cost at level 1
  growth: 1.15        # Each level multiplies cost by this factor
prestige:
  max: 10             # Maximum prestige tiers for this enchant
  cost: 50000         # Token cost to prestige (at prestige tier 1)
  multiplier-per-prestige: 0.1   # +10% bonus per prestige tier
effects:
  particle: EXPLOSION_LARGE
  sound: ENTITY_GENERIC_EXPLODE
  message: "&c💥 Explosive activated!"

Field	Description
`id`	Unique identifier — must match the filename
`max-level`	Highest level a player can upgrade this enchant to
`unlock-level`	Minimum prison level before this enchant is available
`costs.type`	Economy ID to draw upgrade costs from
`costs.base`	Token cost for level 1 upgrade
`costs.growth`	Exponential cost multiplier per level
`prestige.max`	Maximum number of times this enchant can be prestiged
`prestige.cost`	Currency cost to prestige this enchant
`prestige.multiplier-per-prestige`	Bonus multiplier added per prestige tier

Adding Custom Enchants

You can add entirely new enchants without recompiling the plugin:

Create a new .yml file in plugins/JPPrison/enchants/ (e.g., mythic.yml).
Define all required fields (id, name, max-level, costs, etc.).
Run /jpprison reload.

Your new enchant appears in every player’s pickaxe upgrade menu immediately. There is no limit on the number of enchants you can define.

Each id must be globally unique across all enchant files. Duplicate IDs cause the second file to be silently skipped on load — check the console for warnings after reloading.

Activation Effects & Messages

Every enchant can define visual and audio feedback that triggers each time the enchant activates during mining:

effects:
  particle: EXPLOSION_LARGE       # Bukkit particle name
  sound: ENTITY_GENERIC_EXPLODE   # Bukkit sound name
  message: "&c💥 Explosive activated!"

particle — plays the named Bukkit particle effect at the activation point.
sound — plays the named Bukkit sound at the player’s location.
message — sends a color-formatted chat message to the activating player.

All three fields are optional. Remove any field to disable that feedback element for that enchant.
