Configuration Groups

Configuration: Groups

A group is a named bucket of materials that share one cumulative counter. Selling any member advances the same total, and the unlocked multiplier applies to every member. This is what powers the "crops" example: wheat, carrots, kelp and the rest all push the same crop progress.

Format

groups:
  crops:
    icon: GRASS_BLOCK
    display-name: "Crops"
    stack-mode: group
    # currency: gems
    materials:
      - WHEAT
      - CARROT
      - POTATO
      - KELP
      - SUGAR_CANE
    tiers:
      - threshold: 10000
        multiplier: 1.1
        icon: GRASS_BLOCK
      - threshold: 100000
        multiplier: 1.2
        icon: WHEAT
      - threshold: 1000000
        multiplier: 1.3
        icon: KELP

Fields

Field	Required	Meaning
materials	yes	Materials whose sales feed the shared counter.
tiers	yes	{ threshold, multiplier, icon? } ladder (icon is optional, per tier).
icon	no	Menu icon for the group. Any [[icon form
display-name	no	Pretty name shown by {group_name} and %..._group_display_<g>%.
stack-mode	no	How the group combines with a material's own multiplier: group (default), item, or stack. See [[Stacking Multipliers
currency	no	A named currency from the [[currency section

Default groups

The plugin ships with eight starter groups so you can see the system working immediately. Trim or edit any you do not want.

Group	Theme	Notable setting
crops	Farming	stack-mode: group
ores	Mined ores	stack-mode: stack (stacks on the DIAMOND/GOLD/IRON item ladders)
resources	Logs and wood	-
excavation	Dirt, sand, gravel, stone	-
fishing	Fish and sea loot	currency: gems
nether	Nether materials	-
mob_drops	Combat drops	currency: tokens
building	Building blocks	-

All eight appear automatically in the paginated group browser (/pm gui groups).

Make your own

Add as many groups as you like - just copy a block and rename it. Every group you define is instantly available in three places, with no extra wiring:

• Its own PlaceholderAPI placeholders (swap crops for the group name).
• A slot in any paginated content-source: groups menu (see Pagination).
• A group:-bound menu item (see Menu Tokens).

When you update the plugin, new default groups (and any other new config keys) are merged into your existing config.yml automatically. See Updating.

Precedence

For a material only in a group, the group multiplier is the one that applies. When a material is also in an items ladder, the stack-mode decides. Default ladder never applies to a material that belongs to a group.
