+# Developer API
+
+MiningLevels can be used as a dependency in your own plugins.
+
+## Maven (JitPack)
+
+Add the JitPack repository and the MiningLevels dependency to your `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<repositories>
+    <repository>
+        <id>jitpack.io</id>
+        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
+    </repository>
+</repositories>
+```
+
+```xml
+<dependencies>
+    <dependency>
+        <groupId>com.github.ChafficPlugins</groupId>
+        <artifactId>MiningLevels</artifactId>
+        <version>LATEST</version>
+        <scope>provided</scope>
+    </dependency>
+</dependencies>
+```
+
+Replace `LATEST` with a specific version tag from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/ChafficPlugins/MiningLevels/releases) for reproducible builds.
+
+## Gradle (JitPack)
+
+```groovy
+repositories {
+    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
+}
+
+dependencies {
+    compileOnly 'com.github.ChafficPlugins:MiningLevels:LATEST'
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Add MiningLevels as a dependency or soft-dependency in your `plugin.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+depend: [MiningLevels]
+# or
+softdepend: [MiningLevels]
+```
+
+For available API classes and methods, refer to the [source code](https://github.com/ChafficPlugins/MiningLevels).
+
+<!-- TODO: Document specific API events and hooks once they are formally documented in the wiki -->

+
+## Mining Levels (`config/levels.json`)
+
+Players level up by mining blocks to gain XP. Levels are defined in `config/levels.json` and **must be in sorted order** by ordinal (from first to last level).
+
+**Tip:** Use the in-game level editor (`/ml leveleditor`) to edit levels instead of manually editing JSON.
+
+### Level Properties
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `name` | string | The display name of the level |
+| `ordinal` | integer | The number of the level, starting at 0 (level 1 = ordinal 0) |
+| `nextLevelXP` | integer | XP needed to reach the next level |
+| `instantBreakProbability` | float | Probability (%) that a player at this level will break a block instantly |
+| `extraOreProbability` | float | Probability (%) that extra ores will drop when a player breaks a block |
+| `maxExtraOre` | float | Maximum amount of extra ores that can drop |
+| `hasteLevel` | integer | Haste effect level applied while mining a mining block |
+| `commands` | list | Commands executed when a player reaches this level (requires PlaceholderAPI) |
+| `rewards` | list | Item rewards given when a player reaches this level |
+
+### Commands
+
+Since version 1.1.0, levels support commands that run on level-up. **PlaceholderAPI is required.**
+
+Since version 1.2.9, commands can be prefixed with `console:` or `player:` to control who executes them:
+
+```json
+"commands": [
+  "console:op %ml_player_name%",
+  "player:say Hey guys I %ml_player_name% reached %ml_level% in Mining!"
+]
+```
+
+### Rewards
+
+Since version 1.1.0, levels support item rewards. Each reward requires at minimum a `type` field, which must be a valid [Bukkit Material](https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html).
+
+```json
+"rewards": [
+  {
+    "type": "DIAMOND",
+    "amount": 10
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Example levels.json
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "name": "1",
+    "nextLevelXP": 100,
+    "ordinal": 0,
+    "instantBreakProbability": 0.0,
+    "extraOreProbability": 0.0,
+    "maxExtraOre": 0.0,
+    "hasteLevel": 0,
+    "commands": [
+      "console:say wow, next level :)"
+    ],
+    "rewards": [
+      {
+        "type": "DIAMOND",
+        "amount": 10
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  {
+    "name": "2",
+    "nextLevelXP": 300,
+    "ordinal": 1,
+    "instantBreakProbability": 5.0,
+    "extraOreProbability": 10.0,
+    "maxExtraOre": 0.0,
+    "hasteLevel": 0,
+    "commands": [],
+    "rewards": []
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Each level must be separated by a comma. **Levels must be sorted by ordinal.**
+
+---
+
+## Mining Blocks (`config/blocks.json`)
+
+Mining blocks define which blocks give XP and which level is required to mine them. Configured in `config/blocks.json`.
+
+**Tip:** Use the in-game block editor (`/ml blockeditor`) to edit blocks instead of manually editing JSON.
+
+### Block Properties
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `materials` | list | One or more [Bukkit Material](https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Material.html) names. Only block materials are valid. |
+| `xp` | integer | XP amount (greater than 0) a player receives when breaking this block |
+| `minLevel` | integer | The ordinal number of the minimum level required to mine this block. Set to 0 if all players should be able to mine it. |
+
+### Example blocks.json
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "materials": [
+      "DEEPSLATE_REDSTONE_ORE",
+      "REDSTONE_ORE"
+    ],
+    "xp": 1,
+    "minLevel": 0
+  },
+  {
+    "materials": [
+      "DEEPSLATE_LAPIS_ORE",
+      "LAPIS_ORE"
+    ],
+    "xp": 1,
+    "minLevel": 3
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Each block entry must be separated by a comma.
+
+---
+
+## Placeholders
+
+MiningLevels provides PlaceholderAPI placeholders. **[PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/) must be installed.**
+
+### Player Placeholders
+
+| Placeholder | Description | Since |
+|---|---|---|
+| `%ml_player_name%` | Current name of the player | 1.2.9 |
+| `%ml_level%` | Current mining level of the player | — |
+| `%ml_xp%` | Current XP amount the player has | — |

+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Install CrucialLib** – Download [CrucialLib](https://github.com/Chafficui/CrucialAPI) and place it in your server's `plugins/` folder. MiningLevels requires this dependency.
+2. **Install MiningLevels** – Place the MiningLevels `.jar` file in your server's `plugins/` folder.
+3. **Restart the server** – Restart (not reload) your server to let the plugin generate its default configuration files.
+4. **Configure** – Edit the generated config files in `plugins/MiningLevels/` to suit your server. See the [Configuration](configuration.md) guide for details.
+5. **(Optional) Install PlaceholderAPI** – If you want to use placeholders or level-up commands, install [PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/).
+
+## Updating
+
+1. Download the latest version from SpigotMC or GitHub Releases.
+2. Replace the old `.jar` file in your `plugins/` folder with the new one.
+3. Restart the server.
+4. Check the console for any migration messages or new config options.
+
+## File Structure
+
+After first run, MiningLevels creates the following files:
+
+```
+plugins/MiningLevels/
+├── config.yml          # Main configuration
+└── config/
+    ├── levels.json     # Level definitions
+    └── blocks.json     # Mining block definitions
+```
