OreStats
Managing a Minecraft server often means keeping tabs on what your players are doing, especially when it comes to valuable resources like diamonds, ancient debris, and emeralds. OreStats is the add-on that makes this effortless. Instead of digging through logs or guessing who has been mining what, you can pull up a complete ore breakdown for every player on the server with just one command. Whether you run a survival world, a factions realm, or a competitive SMP, OreStats gives you the transparency you need to maintain a fair and engaging environment.
What is OreStats?
OreStats is a lightweight, server-side add-on designed to track and display the number of ores each player has mined. It works silently in the background, recording every ore block broken by a player, and then makes that data instantly accessible through simple chat commands. No complicated configuration, no performance lag, and no client-side mods required. The add-on is perfect for server administrators who want to monitor resource gathering, detect potential x-ray cheaters, or simply satisfy their curiosity about who is hoarding all the diamonds.
Key Features of OreStats for Minecraft
- One-command ore lookup: Use
/ore player allto see a list of every player and their total mined ores, or/ore player [name]to check a specific player's stats. - Comprehensive ore tracking: Records all overworld and nether ores, including coal, iron, gold, redstone, lapis lazuli, diamond, emerald, copper, nether quartz, and ancient debris.
- Real-time updates: Stats are updated instantly as players mine, so you always have the latest information.
- Lightweight and efficient: Designed to have minimal impact on server performance, even with dozens of players online.
- Easy to install: Simply drop the add-on file into your server's plugins or mods folder, depending on your server type.
How to Install OreStats
Getting OreStats up and running takes only a few minutes. First, make sure your server is running a compatible platform such as Spigot, Paper, or Fabric. Then, download the latest version of OreStats from a trusted source. If you are using the foxygame.net launcher, you can find OreStats in the built-in add-on catalog and install it with a single click, which also handles automatic updates and version compatibility checks. For manual installation, place the downloaded .jar file into your server's plugins folder (for Bukkit-based servers) or mods folder (for Fabric), and restart the server. Once the server is back online, OreStats will begin tracking ores immediately. No additional permissions setup is required for basic use, but you can configure permissions to restrict who can view ore stats if needed.
Using OreStats Commands
The core of OreStats lies in its straightforward command system. The main command is /ore, which has two primary subcommands:
/ore player all– Displays a list of all players who have mined ores, along with their total counts for each ore type./ore player [playername]– Shows the ore mining statistics for a specific player, including a breakdown by ore type.
For example, typing /ore player Steve will output something like: "Steve has mined: 45 coal, 23 iron, 5 gold, 12 redstone, 3 lapis, 2 diamonds, 8 copper, 15 nether quartz, 1 ancient debris." This makes it incredibly easy to spot unusual mining patterns or to reward top miners. The add-on also supports aliases and can be integrated with other server management tools for automated logging or leaderboards.
Why Server Admins Love OreStats
OreStats isn't just a convenience tool; it's a powerful asset for server integrity. By monitoring ore counts, you can quickly identify players who might be using x-ray hacks to find diamonds at an unnatural rate. It also helps in economy-based servers where ores are used as currency, allowing you to verify player wealth. Additionally, OreStats fosters friendly competition: you can set up weekly mining challenges and use the add-on to track progress without any manual counting. The fact that it works silently and requires no client-side installation means your players won't even know it's there unless you tell them.
