Mechanics

The mechanics of Storage simplify a player's interaction with the game world and completely automate mundane inventory sorting. Below is an explanation of the core mechanics.

Auto-Pickup

The moment a player breaks a block that is configured in the plugin, it bypasses the ground and skips the player's physical inventory altogether.

  • It goes straight into the Virtual Storage.
  • A customizable subtitle or action bar message pops up telling the player how much they mined and their storage capacity.
  • Fortune Enchants still apply to drops normally!

Toggle: /storage toggle

Auto-Sell

A feature for players to sell items automatically.

  • The plugin hooks into economy providers like Vault, PlayerPoints, or triggers Commands.
  • With Auto-sell active, items are instantly sold for cash right as they are mined, skipping the storage completely.
  • Perfect for those who don't want to sell resources manually.

Note: This feature is available for OreStorage and CropStorage only.

Toggle (Admin permission default): /storage autosell

Ground-Store

Sometimes, items are already on the ground (e.g. from an explosion, an ally mining, or dropping from a chest).

  • If the ground-store feature is enabled globally and toggled on for the player, ground items that match storage configurations will be instantly picked up into the player's virtual storage.

Toggle: /storage groundstore

Crafting Integration

Because items are hoarded in virtual storage, you don't want players to have to withdraw items just to craft.

  • The Crafting System (/storage craft) allows servers to set up custom recipes.
  • These recipes actively pull materials directly from the virtual storage (and MythicStorage) behind the scenes.
  • The output goes directly into the player's physical inventory.

Convert Mechanism

Players who mine millions of blocks need compression.

  • /storage convert opens a GUI.
  • Convert Ingots into Blocks (e.g., 9 Iron Ingots -> 1 Iron Block) or Vice-Versa.
  • Can be uniquely customized if some items have a 4:1 compression ratio (like Quartz).

Protections

The plugin comes with multiple built-in protections:

  • Prevent Rebreak: To avoid infinite money glitches, if a player places a block from their inventory and breaks it again, it will NOT go into Storage, and they will NOT gain event progress for it.
  • WorldGuard Integration: Mining rules and block-break protections in protected regions are strictly obeyed. (For instance, you can't bypass region protection by using Auto-pickup).
