Money Making​

Money is useful in the survival server - whether it to stock up on a few ender pearls for a raid, to buy food to sustain scouting for bases, or for general items for particular things. More importantly they can be used for higher end items, diamond gear, monster spawners and buying items from other players. This guide is to show you efficient ways to earn an income to buy the things you need.

General Mining:
Efficiency: Medium
Description: Mining offers many resources to sell for money on the server, and it's fairly simple.
Pros: XP from ores, possibility to find bases and additional items.
Cons: Mobs and lava hazards if not careful.
Additional Boosts: Higher tier pickaxes, enchantments such as efficiency, unbreaking and fortune.

Sugar Rush:
Efficiency: High-Very High
