Premium and Gems

Gems are the shop currency. They have nothing to do with the in-game money and 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 about fifty gems.

What Premium gives you

Five homes instead of two, instant teleportation, your items on sale for 48 hours instead of 24 and five at a time, your ender chest anywhere with /ec, your crafting table anywhere 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 spot in the queue.

What Premium+ adds

Unlimited flying with /fly, an exclusive kit every 48 hours, three times as much at every VoteParty, ten homes, fifteen items on sale for 72 hours, and a run of comfort commands: /sellall, /repair, /hat, /anvil, /grindstone, /loom, /stonecutter, /smithingtable, /invsee, /enchantable, /condense, /ptime and /pweather.

How much it costs

Premium costs 50,000 gems, Premium+ 125,000.

If you already have Premium, Premium+ only costs you 75,000 more. It is not a discount: it is simply the difference between the two, you pay the same total in the end.

Gems are also sold in packs on the server website. Count roughly 2,000 gems for 1 euro, so Premium works out at around 25 euros, and Premium+ at around 62. That is an order of size, not a price list: the big packs on the site are better value than the small ones, look at them before buying.

In game, everything is shown in gems, never in euros.

A rank is not forever

That is the thing to know before buying. A rank is tied to the server version running at the time, and it stops at the next version change.

To place it for you: 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: it depends on Minecraft updates and on when the server decides to follow. The shop writes it itself, under the name of the rank.

What it does not do

No rank makes you stronger in combat, since there is no combat here. No rank grows your island faster, and none gives money directly.

The kits

/kit gives 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 pick it up for free every 48 hours with /kit.

The rest of the shop, in plain terms

The other prices, so you can compare without doing the maths:

Kits: Builder and Redstone 6,000 gems, Enchanter 8,000, Miner 9,000, Farmer 12,000. So 3 to 6 euros.
Epic Key: 3,000 gems each, or 20,000 for a pack of ten, which works out at 2,000 apiece.
Spawner Key: 5,000 each, 30,000 for ten.
Legendary Key: 7,500 each, 50,000 for ten.
Nautilus Key: 10,000 each.

A single Epic Key therefore works out at one euro fifty, a Legendary one at three euros seventy-five. The list of prizes and odds is on the Crates page.
