Realistic mining.

With MMS the mine is alive: the air goes stale, torches go out, and wide tunnels without supports can cave in.

Hear that creak?

Every danger warns you first: dust from the ceiling, a creak. You have three seconds.

Read the mine.

Cave-ins, hissing gas, seeping water: each one warns you, and each one has its fix. A support, two chains and a stripped log, holds the ceiling up. Discover MMS →

Minecraft Mining System

MMS

Mines that are risky but readable: every danger warns you first, and every one has a remedy.

The deeper you dig, the less air there is, and the ceiling starts to creak.

What the mine does

Each module can be turned off on its own. Every warning comes with what to do about it.

Mine

Cave-ins

Wide tunnels give way

Two chains and a log hold

When you hear creaking and see dust, get away. A support is two chains in a column with a stripped log laid on top: it holds the ceiling for 7×3×7 blocks. Whoever is caught underneath has a few seconds to dig out.

How it plays

Read the danger

Titles, a bar and chat lines say what is happening and what to do: dig a shaft for air, hold a lantern in the dark, prop the ceiling, get away from creaking.

An air tank

Type /mms recipe for the booklet: craft the air tank on the surface and drink it down in the mine.

The Buried

In deep mines, rarely, something wakes in the rock and comes for you. It waits for whoever comes to raise a downed friend.

In game

Real screenshots from the test server, client 26.2, plugins in English.

A dark cave with the title DARKNESS and the air bar

Red bar: stale air 0 percent, you are suffocating, dig a shaft up to the sky

Works with

MMS works on its own. With these plugins installed they know each other, and more happens.

Levels by real depth (Weyland): MMS measures the rock above your head, so a cave inside a mountain is as dangerous as one far below.
Safe ground (Gods): under sacred lands and faction homes with a lit hearth there is no darkness, stale air or Buried. Cave-ins, gas and floods still happen.
