Mining Reward
by biduleking
Mining Reward gives players tiered goals for mining blocks and harvesting crops, reset on a daily schedule, in a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1.
What it does
Progress is tracked through tiers: rewards are granted when a player reaches a set number of mined blocks or harvested crops. Daily special challenges add extra XP, and daily enhancement challenges grant temporary multipliers. An in-game screen shows progress, claimed tiers and current objectives.
Everything is controlled by a JSON configuration file with three main sections: reset behavior, reward tiers and reward pools. The reset can follow real-world time, with the daily reset at 6 AM or midnight in 24-hour format, or the Minecraft day, where a day lasts 24000 ticks, roughly 20 real minutes. Each tier holds an array of block-mined thresholds and an object with its reward details. A pool group lets the mod select one option at random from several entries.
The mod runs on NeoForge only, with a single build for 1.21.1 released 2026-07-03. It has to be installed on both the server and the client. It is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. Server owners can tune tiers, rewards, reset times and challenge difficulty to fit a modpack or a server's gameplay.
