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: -1The 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_MININGfor efficient mining - Use on swords for mob grinding without item pickup
- Consider not using with
MELT_MININGif you want to keep raw ores
