Events

The absorption effect triggers on:

• BlockBreakEvent - Mining blocks
• BlockDropItemEvent - Block drops
• EntityDropItemEvent - Entity drops (mob kills)

Behavior

1. When items would drop:

   • Items are added to the player's inventory
   • Items that don't fit drop normally
   • Works with Fortune, Looting, etc.

2. Overflow handling:

   • If inventory is full, items drop at the player's location
   • Partial stacks are split (what fits goes to inventory)

Incompatibilities

ABSORPTION is incompatible with:

• AUTO_SELL - Both effects process drops differently

If both are applied, only one will function.

Processing Order

Block Break / Entity Death
    ↓
VEIN_MINING / HAMMER (collect blocks)
    ↓
MELT_MINING (smelt drops)
    ↓
ABSORPTION (items to inventory) ← Priority: -1

The absorption effect has priority -1, meaning it processes last (after smelting but would conflict with auto-sell).

Tips

• Great for mining operations to reduce pickup time
• Combine with large inventory or backpack plugins
• Works perfectly with VEIN_MINING for efficient mining
• Use on swords for mob grinding without item pickup
• Consider not using with MELT_MINING if you want to keep raw ores
