# FAQ

## FAQ

Find answers about setup, performance, access, and integrations.

### Storage and setup

<details>

<summary>Where are mines stored?</summary>

Each mine is its own JSON file at `plugins/SimplyMines/mines/<name>.json`.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do I need PlaceholderAPI / ItemsAdder / Nexo / CraftEngine?</summary>

No. All four are optional soft dependencies. SimplyMines works without them. Features tied to them remain unavailable. See [Installation](/simplymines-docs/introduction/installation.md).

</details>

***

### Resets and performance

<details>

<summary>My mine isn't resetting.</summary>

Check that it is enabled (`/sm enable <name>`). Also confirm a reset requirement in `/sm edit <name>`. See [Mine and Reset Requirements](/simplymines-docs/introduction/configuration/mine-and-reset-requirements.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Resets are causing lag.</summary>

Lower `max_milles_per_tick` in `config.yml`. This slows resets but reduces tick-time impact. See [Global Configuration](/simplymines-docs/introduction/configuration/global-configuration.md).

</details>

***

### Permissions and access

<details>

<summary>How do I restrict who can mine in a specific mine?</summary>

Attach a permission or tool-efficiency mine requirement through the editor GUI. Integrations can use the [Requirements API](/simplymines-docs/introduction/api-developer-guide/requirements-api.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I let a specific group teleport to only some mines?</summary>

Grant `simplymines.teleport` and `simplymines.teleport.<mine>` for each mine. See [Permissions](/simplymines-docs/introduction/permissions.md).

</details>

***

### Developer questions

<details>

<summary>Can other plugins hook into SimplyMines?</summary>

Yes. See [API / Developer Guide](/simplymines-docs/introduction/api-developer-guide.md) for mines, requirements, and events.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://simplymines.gitbook.io/simplymines-docs/introduction/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
