The Mining Tree
The Mining Tree is where your mining stats come from. Open it with /miningtree. Every mining level up to 100 gives you one point, and each point takes one node on a web of stat nodes, notables and keystones.
Your points belong to you, so your stats stay the same when you change pickaxes.
Points
- You get 1 point per mining level, up to 100 points.
- Ascension never takes points away. Once you have ascended you have all 100, whatever your level.
- With no points left the game says "You have no tree points. Mining levels give one point each."
Taking nodes
You start at the centre node, The Seam. You can take a node when it touches The Seam or a node you already have. Anything else answers "That node isn't connected to your tree yet."
There are four kinds of node:
- Small nodes give a small amount of one stat.
- Greater nodes give about four times the small node of the same stat (see the table). They are named after it, for example Greater Ore Gain.
- Effect notables sit at the end of branches and add a mechanic. See Keystones and notables.
- Keystones sit at the four corners and change how your pickaxe pays, each with a cost. See Keystones and notables.
Stats
Every node's tooltip shows what it gives. Stat totals have no cap.
| Stat | What it does | Small node | Greater node |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ore Gain | increased ore from mining | 6% | ?% |
| Energy Gain | increased energy from mining | 7.7% | ?% |
| XP Gain | increased mining XP | 2.9% | ?% |
| Shard Find | more chance to find shards | 8% | ?% |
| Jewel Find | increased chance to find jewels | 0.7% | ?% |
| Proc Chance | increased proc chance of your mining enchants | 3.3% | ?% |
| Energy Capacity | more energy capacity on your pickaxe | 50% | ?% |
| Extract Tax | less energy extract tax | 10% | ?% |
| Meteorite Ores | increased ore from meteorites | 9.3% | ?% |
| Meteorite Energy | increased energy from meteorites | 10% | ?% |
| Mining Speed | increased mining speed | 7.3% | ?% |
Extract Tax is a single wheel of nine small nodes and one greater node. Take all ten and you pay no extract tax.
"Increased" stats add to your other increased bonuses of the same kind. See Increased vs More.
Refunds and resets
Both are free.
- One node: click a node you own twice to get its point back. You can only refund a node if the rest of your tree stays connected without it. Otherwise the game says "Refund the nodes beyond this one first."
- Everything: Respec refunds every node, and your mining class with it.
Auto-spend
Auto-spend puts every point on a preset path for you, now and each time you level. Pick one with /miningtree auto, or straight from the tree screen.
| Preset | Command | What it aims for |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | /miningtree auto energy |
Most energy on your pickaxe. |
| XP | /miningtree auto xp |
Level up faster. |
| Money | /miningtree auto money |
More ore to sell. |
| Mixed | /miningtree auto mixed |
A bit of everything: ore, energy and XP. |
- New players are put on Energy when they reach level 10 in the tutorial, so your first points are already spent when you arrive at spawn.
- Picking a preset replaces the nodes on your mining tree with that preset's path. Your mining class is kept.
- Auto-spend never takes a keystone. Take those yourself.
- Taking or refunding a mining tree node by hand turns auto-spend off. So does a full Respec. Class nodes do not affect it.
/miningtree auto offturns it off and keeps your nodes. New points then wait for you in/miningtree.- If you have no preset and points waiting, a level up can show the preset picker in chat.
Builds
/miningtree build lists your saved builds and /miningtree build <1-3> switches to one. Each build is a whole tree with its own nodes, mining class and auto-spend preset. Switching is free.
- Build 1 is open from the start.
- One more opens at Mining Level 50, or with any Ascension.
- One more opens at Gilded Pass level 10 on the Season Pass.
The three screens
- With AncientsMod: the tree opens as one full screen with an Auto button.
- Without the mod: a painted window, on Minecraft 1.21.6 or newer with the server resource pack.
- Otherwise (older client, no pack, Bedrock): a chest menu you pan around.
/miningtree chest opens the chest menu on any client.
Clicking a player's [level] link in chat opens their tree, read only. This needs Minecraft 1.21.6 or newer with the server pack.
What it replaced
- Pickaxe stat picks. Pickaxes no longer carry Ore Gain, Energy Gain, XP Gain and the rest. Those stats are tree nodes now. Pickaxe prestige still gives perks.
- Armour mining enchants. Touch of Plutus, Aftershock, Oracle's Eye, Goldvein, Charon's Cut, Stoneblood, Hermes' Pace, Surveyor, Lodestone and Apprentice's Vigor no longer roll or apply.
Mining classes
From Ascension I the tree gets a second page, opened with /miningtree ascendancy, where you pick one of six mining classes.
