Economy

The currency on EarthMC is based on gold ingots. 1 gold ingot is 1 unit of currency. The EarthMC economy is inflation resistant with efficient gold sinks. Gold is always in high demand which in turn creates a great gameplay experience and market environment. The large majority of items and services sold are provided by the players.

Store your gold​

The safest place for gold is in an ender chest. Gold can also be deposited into the virtual town/nation bank. This will allow residents with appropriate permissions to withdraw gold and use it for town/nation expenses such as claiming. To deposit, run /t deposit <amount> or /n deposit <amount>. With withdraw, run /t withdraw <amount> or /n withdraw <amount>.
