Mineshore Survival

We are so excited to welcome you to our new free-to-play survival gamemode! I know you are all curious about what features we have added and how the economy will work. To make it easier for you all to start out we have made a short guide. 

At Mineshore, our goal is to provide a modern survival experience that rewards activity, progression and community. We have tried to reduce the profitability of AFK-ing, and created more ways to earn money by actively playing. This does not mean you cannot AFK your farm for money, the idea is simply to make it more profitable to actively play. Every gameplay feature has been designed with free-to-play in mind, ensuring that all players can progress through playing the game while supporters are rewarded with cosmetic and quality-of-life perks that do not impact the overall balance of the server.

Like any traditional survival gamemode we have a land claiming system. You will be allocated a certain amount of chunks that you can claim, simply stand in a chunk and run /claim. There are limits on both the number of chunks per claim and the total number of separate claims you can create. These limits can be found in each rank's information. Other players will be able to come to your claim through player warps. You can use these to showcase your builds and set up shops. 

Our economy is designed to be balanced and have a greater focus on earning by playing. To introduce other ways of earning money we have added several features, the most notable ones being jobs and work. You may choose one job at a time, completing the task of your job and levelling up your chosen job will give you various rewards that increase with your level. Alongside jobs we have a separate work system. This provides a reliable way to earn money and allows you to safely pay others to complete jobs for you. This is a great way for new players to get started while also allowing more established players to outsource the work they need done. 

As mentioned before our focus is to keep the server free for everyone. To allow a way for players to buy perks without spending money we have introduced a secondary currency called Tokens. Tokens can be earned through your job, completing work, killing elite mobs and they can be found in supply drops. They can also be won in our crates. You can spend your tokens in the Tokenshop where both flight time and a temporary rank upgrade will be available for purchase. 

Supporting the server is completely optional, and we are committed to keeping gameplay fair for everyone. Rather than selling gameplay advantages, our store focuses on cosmetic content and quality-of-life perks. With four donor rank tiers, a wide selection of chat colours and tags, and a growing collection of cosmetics, you'll be able to personalise your experience without affecting the competitive balance of the server.
