Premium and Gems
Gems are the shop currency. They have nothing to do with game money and they cannot be traded between players.
Where to find gems without paying
- Your player level tiers, from 800 to 15,000 gems each. It is by far the biggest source.
- The podium of the tournament of the week: 600, 300 and 150 gems.
- Crates and quests, in smaller amounts. A Vote Crate can hold around fifty gems.
Read this before the list: a rank is not forever
The two lists that follow are tempting, so here is the bad news first. A rank is tied to the current server version, and it stops at the next version change.
To put you in the picture: the server always runs on the latest version of Minecraft. So you never need to install an old version to come and play.
Nobody can give you the date of the next change, because it depends on Minecraft updates and on when the server decides to follow. The shop writes it itself, under the name of the rank.
And when the rank stops?
Everything your rank unlocks is a permission, not an item: the extra homes, the extra sale slots, /fly, /ec, /craft. The day the rank drops, those permissions drop with it and you go back down to the limits of a player without a rank.
In other words, a rank never gives you an item you would keep. It opens doors for you, and those doors close again with it. Kits, on the other hand, are a real possession and they stay.
What Premium gives
Five homes instead of two, and leaving straight away when you do /home instead of the usual 5 seconds standing still, your items on sale for 48 hours instead of 24 and five at a time, five buy requests instead of one, your Ender chest everywhere with /ec, your crafting table everywhere with /craft, /feed for hunger, /sit, /lay and /crawl, the daily reward from 30 minutes of play, twice as much at every VoteParty, and a priority place in the queue.
A Legendary Key is given to you on purchase.
What Premium+ adds
Unlimited flight with /fly, an exclusive kit every 48 hours, three times as much at every VoteParty, ten homes, fifteen items on sale for 72 hours, fifteen buy requests, and a series of comfort commands: /sellall, /repair, /hat, /anvil, /grindstone, /loom, /stonecutter, /smithingtable, /invsee, /enchantable, /condense, /ptime and /pweather.
Three Legendary Keys are given on purchase.
What ranks, gems and the rest of the shop cost:
What it does not do
No rank makes you stronger in a fight, since there is no fighting here. No rank grows your raft faster, and none gives money directly.
The kits
/kit gives you access to the kits you own. The basic kit is free. The Builder, Redstone, Miner, Enchanter and Farmer kits are bought in the shop.
Unlike ranks, a kit is paid for once. After that you collect it for free every 48 hours with /kit.
