CustomOreGen Plugin Guide for Minecraft

CustomOreGen Plugin

In most Minecraft servers, players mine for ores to craft gear or earn in-game money. However, some game modes like Skyblock lack natural caves, making resource gathering difficult. The CustomOreGen plugin solves this by allowing custom cobblestone generators that can spawn ores or special blocks instead of plain stone.

With full customization options, you can make generators that produce anything from iron ore to diamond blocks or ancient debris — though overpowered setups can hurt your server’s economy.

⚙️ Installation

• Download CustomOreGen from Spigot.

• Go to your Holy Hosting panel → plugins folder.

• Upload the .jar file.

• Restart your server.

• Use /plugins to confirm installation (should appear in green).

🧱 Basic Setup

By default, the Beginner Generator spawns stone, iron ore, and sandstone — no permissions needed. Operators automatically get access to the VIP generator with more ores.

🛠️ Creating Custom Generators

• Go to → plugins → CustomOreGen → config.yml.

• Edit and add new generators using item IDs.

• Save and restart your server to apply changes.

  

🔑 Key Config Options

• label: Generator name.

• blocks: Block types and spawn chances.

• permission: Required permission node to use.

• unlock_islandLevel: Unlock level for Skyblock servers.

• enable-stone-generator / particle / sound-effect: Enable or disable visual and sound effects.

• disabled-worlds: Worlds where the plugin is inactive.

  
  

🧾 Permissions

Use LuckPerms to give access:/lp user [player] permission set oregen.example true

Without a permission node, all players can use that generator.

💬 Plugin Commands

Basic commands are available to manage and reload the plugin (e.g., /oregen reload).

CustomOreGen 

enhances your server by letting players generate ores or custom blocks with cobblestone generators. It’s fully configurable, permission-based, and ideal for Skyblock or resource-based servers looking for more creativity and control.

Custom SkyBlock Island in Minecraft

CustomOreGen is fully compatible with SkyBlock, as this is an extremely popular game mode. The best way to set this up is by using our preconfigured server along with the plugin, which saves you a lot of time. Otherwise, install one of the SkyBlock plugins mentioned below to see if they work.

Either way, combining these provides your players with a new way to obtain materials.
