block-values.yml

block-values.yml sets how many points each block is worth. Points drive island levels and the leaderboard — see Points & Levels.

Format¶

# Default points for blocks that aren't listed (0 = no points).
default-value: 0.0

values:
  NETHERITE_BLOCK: 10.0
  DIAMOND_BLOCK: 2.5
  QUARTZ_BLOCK: 1.5
  EMERALD_BLOCK: 1.5
  GOLD_BLOCK: 0.8
  IRON_BLOCK: 0.6
  COPPER_BLOCK: 0.6
  OBSIDIAN: 0.5
  AMETHYST_BLOCK: 0.4
  REDSTONE_BLOCK: 0.3
  LAPIS_BLOCK: 0.2
  COAL_BLOCK: 0.2
  OAK_LOG: 0.05
  GRASS_BLOCK: 0.02
  STONE: 0.01

Key	Meaning
`default-value`	Points for any block not listed in `values`
`values.<MATERIAL>`	Points for that specific block (decimals allowed)

Use Bukkit material names (uppercase, underscores).

How Points Move¶

Place a block → add its value to the island.
Break a block → subtract its value.

So values are net: stacking diamond blocks raises your level; mining them lowers it again.

Tuning Tips¶

Keep cheap, spammable blocks (stone, dirt) near 0 so players can't farm levels by placing junk.
Reserve the big numbers for blocks that cost real resources (netherite, diamond).
Set rare decorative items high if you want building to be rewarded.

Tip

/is block shows players these values in game. Reload with /is admin reload after editing.
