Mining

Your Pickaxe

You already have a pickaxe when you join. It is a special prison pickaxe - you can upgrade it with enchants and it never gets permanently lost.

Lost your pickaxe?

Your pickaxe is soulbound - if you drop it, die with it, or wipe your inventory, open /pickaxe and hit the Reclaim button. It comes back free with all levels and enchants intact. No kit needed.

The Sarcina (Backpack)

When you break a block in a public mine, it never drops on the ground and never fills your backpack - it is auto-sold the instant it breaks and the Denarius lands straight in your balance. The Sarcina - your magical mining backpack - is where blocks from private mines collect until you sell them.

• Open it with /backpack.
• Private-mine blocks inside are sold when you run /sellall.
• Capacity starts around 10K blocks and doubles per capacity level you buy - it does fill up, so upgrade it.
• Right-click the Sarcina item in your hand to open its menu - you can sell directly from there too.

Sarcina vs inventory vs vault

The Sarcina is mining-only. Regular items you pick up (loot, gear) go to your normal inventory, and long-term storage lives in your /vault or a rented player cell. Only mined blocks enter the Sarcina.

How to Mine

1. Type /mines and pick a mine you have unlocked (Mine I to start).
2. Walk into the mine area. You will see big walls of stone and ore.
3. Hold left-click on a block to break it. Keep the mouse held down and look around to mine quickly.
4. Each break pays Denarius instantly (public mines) or lands in your Sarcina (private mines).
5. The mine refills itself when it gets about half empty, so you never run out.

What blocks are worth

Different blocks sell for different amounts, and every mine has its own block table - a gold block in Mine XXV is worth a fraction of one in Mine L. Cheap blocks (stone, cobblestone) pay pennies; the rare signature block of each table pays roughly 7× the base. Two live examples:

Higher mines have richer ores, so ranking up directly increases your income.

Mine Tiers and What They Contain

There are 100 public mines (Mine I through Mine C), each unlocked by your rank. Higher mines contain denser, more valuable ores. Climbing the mine ladder is the most direct way to grow your income.

You can always go back to a lower mine if you want a quieter spot, but the ores there pay less. Always mine at the highest mine you have unlocked for maximum income.

Mine Resets and Refills

Public mines do not stay mined-out. Each one refills itself automatically as blocks are removed:

• A mine refills when it gets roughly half empty, so you never run out of blocks to break.
• Refills are instant - the walls pop back to full and ore distribution is rerolled fresh.
• Personal mines (/mine) work differently: you control resets with /mine reset on your own timer.

Personal mines

As you progress you can create a personal mine with /mine create <name>. It is yours alone (or shared with friends you invite), resets on your command with /mine reset, and can be made public for other players to visit and rate. See the commands table below.

Selling Your Blocks

Sell everything at once: /sellall

In public mines you never need to sell - every break pays instantly. The command matters for Sarcina hauls (private mines) and loose sellable items: type /sellall to sell everything at once, or /sellall <material> to sell only one material (for example /sellall cobblestone). You will see a chat message showing how much you earned.

You can also:

• Right-click the Sarcina in your hand to open its menu, then click the Sell button.
• Open the /menu and click the Sell All icon (a chest minecart).

Auto-Sell

Auto-sell empties your Sarcina for you on a timer, so private-mine hauls convert to Denarius without the command.

• It unlocks after 1 hour of playtime; the auto-sell upgrade (faster intervals per level) is bought with Auctoritas in the Sarcina upgrades screen.
• Toggle it on/off from the Sarcina menu (right-click the Sarcina item, or /backpack).
• Your payouts grow with your prestige and rank, so selling pays more as you progress.

How the payout multiplier stacks

Your final per-block payout is the product of several multipliers:

• Base block value (the per-mine table above).
• Rank sell multiplier - roughly +1.5% per rank, up to ~2.49x at Rank 100.
• Prestige sell multiplier - +6% per prestige level (up to +150% at Prestige 25).
• Mining streak bonus - up to +20% while you keep mining non-stop.
• Enchant multipliers - Denarius Boost, multipliers, combo enchants.
• Legion upgrades - Money Boost and Auto Sell Boost from your legion.
• Active boosters - personal and server Money Boosters.

Mining Streaks (Free Bonus Income)

This is the most important thing to understand for earning fast: keep mining without stopping, and you earn more.

How it works

• Every 250 blocks you break in a row moves you up one streak tier.
• Each tier gives you +1% income on everything you earn while mining.
• There are 20 tiers, so the maximum streak bonus is +20%.

How to keep your streak

• Do not stop mining for more than 8 seconds. If you pause too long, your streak resets to zero.
• The action bar at the bottom of your screen shows your current streak tier and bonus in real time.

Pickaxe Leveling

Your pickaxe earns XP as you mine. As it gains XP, it levels up, which improves its base stats (mining speed, durability, fortune).

• You can see your pickaxe's level and XP by holding it and typing /pickaxe.
• Higher pickaxe levels make mining smoother and unlock the ability to equip more powerful enchants.
• Pickaxe XP comes automatically - just keep mining.

The real power-ups come from enchants. See the Enchants article for the full system.

Mining Abilities (Active Powers)

Once you unlock them, you have three powerful active abilities you trigger by sneaking and right-clicking with your pickaxe in hand:

You can also cast them with /ability cast <name>. Unlock them in the abilities menu.

Tips for New Miners

1. Public mines pay instantly - every break lands Denarius in your balance. No selling step, no lost hauls.
2. Mine non-stop to keep your streak bonus maxed. Even a few seconds of pause resets it.
3. Go to the highest mine you have unlocked. Richer ores = more money per block.
4. Buy enchants early. Even cheap enchants like Denarius Boost and Auctoritas Boost pay for themselves fast.
5. Use /next if you are ever unsure what to do - it will tell you whether to mine, rank up, or prestige.
6. Try the PVP Mine once you have good gear - it has the richest ores in the game but other players can kill you.
