Title Player Mine

Description of suggestion
On a server I worked on they had a small "mine" in the spawn area. It was for all players, but specifically new players to get certain ores. It was basically a big chunk of stone, coal, iron, gold, and occasionally the "mine" would have 1-2 diamond ore spawn in or 1 emerald ore spawn in like a lucky digger kind of deal. This was always a positive feature that the players enjoyed and we got positive feed back on. It would be as big/deep as the owner wanted and would reset every 5 minutes. The main ores in it would be coal, iron, and gold. This would encourage higher players to join if they needed some or wanted to try and find a diamond if it was there but would also help newer players who struggle. There was also a score board of like, you mined 200 coal ore here in total etc. The owner or staff could decide if they wanted to add more kinds of ores or less kinds this was just was the server i worked on did and players really loved it.

Possible side effects of suggestion
Pros:
- Helps keep the world cleaner with less random mines looking for the basic ores
- Helps newer players
- Creates a place where players can meet other players
- Has a competetive effect with the score board for those that want bragging rights or like big numbers
- The stone in of itself also helps with building projects so instead of rtping to a random spot and destroying the world you can use that stone
Cons:
- There could be some hogging
- Players could run and grab ores that have dropped and not been picked up. This could be like either a report them or just you are taking your chances in this mine since it is reset so often its not losing much
 
I think this would be a good idea. Some players feel pressured into buying stuff from shops because they are close to used areas for that has mines throughout. This is especially true closer to spawn.

I think it would be an okay idea, but players can also explore the map more. None of the caves I ever go into have even been explored or looted yet and many of my claims are within reasonable distance to the spawn. There's also a whole gamemode based around this concept, prison. It has the competition and everything, but to be fair the playerbase for prison be very low, which is why I switched to survival. I have zero problems finding ores... although perhaps I'm just a rich, privileged catboy... uwu
