Mining

The core of the server. Two separate systems: your private column under your own land, and the shared mines everyone competes in.

The shared mines

/mine opens the menu. Higher tiers are strictly richer — both in how much of the mine is ore at all, and in what that ore is.

Rules inside a mine

• No fall damage. Digging downward is the intended way to move through one.
• You cannot build. A mine's whole balance rests on how much ore its restock puts back; walling off a corner or placing and re-breaking your own blocks would break that.
• Ender pearls and chorus fruit do not work anywhere in the mines world — they were being used to skip the level gate by going over a wall.
• Deepslate needs a good pickaxe. Bring one to the Mythic mine.
• When a mine restocks, anyone inside is moved to the entrance rather than buried.
• If you log out inside and the mine resets while you are away, you are moved to the entrance when you return instead of waking up inside solid rock.

The Treasure MineNEW

A mine that is closed most of the time. Every few hours it opens for a short window, freshly restocked with the best ore on the server, and everybody is told at the same moment.

• The whole server is announced to when it opens, and again when it closes.
• /mine shows a live countdown — either "opens in" or "closes in".
• It restocks completely on every opening, so the window always starts on a full mine.
• When the window ends you are moved out automatically.

It is a race on purpose: one bell, everyone hears it, and there is only so much ore in the window.

Rare finds

Every block you break in a shared mine has a small chance to give something extra.

Neither drops from your private land mine, and neither drops in creative mode.

What ore is worth

Prices are not fixed — see the economy. Before a big sell, check /market: mining the thing that is currently in demand can be worth substantially more than mining the thing that everyone else just dumped.
