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>.
