PyroMining turns vanilla mining into a deep progression loop with artifacts, fossils → vessels, a refinery, rune guardians, and a passive “Singularity” tree. This page explains the basics so you can start fast and scale toward endgame.
⏱ Quick-Start (1 Minute)
- Mine anything (stone & ores). You’ll occasionally get Zeta, Fluxes, Gemstones, Mysterious Dust, and rare Artifacts.
- Use
/mineto open the menu. Check/mine stats,/mine shop,/mine artifacts. - Sell Fluxes/Gemstones in
/mine shop(or upgrade gemstones first for more profit—risk vs reward). - Unseal & identify Artifacts via
/mine artifacts. These can grant Fossil Parts. - When you complete a set of 8 Fossil Parts for a creature, craft a Vessel in a Refinery.
- Use Rune Dust (refined from Mysterious Dust) to summon Rune Guardians for runes and Singularity Points.
Tip: Keep a few Artifacts and Gemstones to process—don’t insta-sell everything.

🎯 What Drops While You Mine
- Zeta — Mining currency for plugin features and shop interactions.
- Fluxes — Straightforward vendor loot; sell in
/mine shop. - Gemstones — Can be upgraded (risking loss) for higher sell value. High risk, high reward.
- Mysterious Dust — Refines into Rune Dust and other outputs via the Refinery.
- Artifacts — Rare finds. Unseal, identify, and harvest rewards. Best source of Fossil Parts.
Server Note: Drop rates and sell prices may be tuned here. See the admin notes at the end for fields to customize.
🏺 Artifacts → Fossils → Vessels
Artifacts
- Come sealed; right-click to unseal, then queue in
/mine artifactsto identify (time-gated). - Have rarity tiers (e.g., Basic → Divine). Higher tiers = better identification rewards.
- Identification commonly yields Fossil Parts, Mysterious Dust, and other valuables.
Fossil Sets
- Each creature (e.g., Dragon, Phoenix, Manticore, etc.) has 8 unique parts.
- Completing all 8 parts lets you craft a Vessel in the Refinery.
Vessels (Pickaxe Upgrades)
- Act like a major upgrade line for your pickaxe. One active vessel track per pickaxe.
- Progression includes a mini-game with Requium Orbs: find the correct 3-orb combination (order matters).
- Mining progresses the vessel; Thralls and occasional bosses can spawn to provide hints/XP.
- Finish the sequence and defeat the boss to fully apply the Vessel.
⚗️ Refinery (Essential Utility)
Structure: Commonly a Dropper beneath a Fence (server may vary). Place inputs in the Dropper and right-click the Fence to process.
Typical Uses
- Mysterious Dust → Rune Dust (used for Rune Guardians and Oracleite).
- Artifact outputs → refined items or Fossil/Vessel crafting steps.
- Fossil Set → Vessel crafting.
🔮 Runes, Guardians, Singularity & Oracles
Rune Dust & Rune Guardians
- Rune Dust comes from refining Mysterious Dust.
- Use Rune Dust at a Redstone Ore block to summon a Rune Guardian.
- Defeat Guardians for Runes and Singularity Points.
Singularity (Passive Talent Tree)
- Spend Singularity Points (Guardian drops) on passive perks: improved drop chances, utility slots, QoL boosts, etc.
- Plan your build—perks can significantly increase profit/hour.
Oracles (Advanced Bosses)
- Unlocked at higher mining levels (commonly mid-game+).
- Refine Rune Dust into Oracleite; charge it by mining Diamond Ore, then use on Emerald Ore to spawn an Oracle.
- Oracles drop powerful items and can unlock extra passive slots or higher-tier progression.
📈 Skill, Progression & Economy Tips
- Level naturally by mining; higher levels often improve drop quality and system access.
- Gemstone upgrading is risky but can multiply profits. Know when to stop.
- Artifacts are long-tail value: identify steadily; complete fossil sets over time.
- Refinery uptime matters—process Dust into Rune Dust early to unlock Guardians and Singularity perks.
- Group play is fine—drops are per-player; coordinate refinery and boss spawns to scale gains.
🛠️ Deep-Dive / Endgame Path
- Optimize your route (Y-levels, vein density, beacon buffs).
- Bank profit via shop, then reinvest into Gemstone upgrades and Artifact throughput.
- Complete fossil sets; craft first Vessel. Start Requium solving while mining.
- Summon Guardians regularly to farm Runes and Singularity Points.
- Spawn Oracles for advanced drops; spec into passives that amplify your core loop (drop luck, bag space, QoL).
- Iterate: vessel choice + passive tree + route efficiency = profit/hour gains.
❓ FAQ
Do I need a special pickaxe?
No. Any pickaxe works. Vessels and passives enhance your results over time.
Are drop chances the same for everyone?
Base chances are global, but level, passives, and vessels can improve your personal outcomes.
What if my Artifact inventory is full when unsealing?
Make space first. If you unseal with a full inventory, you may lose the item. Play it safe.
Can I run multiple Vessels at once?
One active vessel progression per pickaxe. You can swap tracks, but stacking is restricted.
