The gamemode
A mine of your own, and a pickaxe that never stops growing.
Every prisoner gets a private mine. Break blocks, sell them, pour the profits into your pickaxe and your rank - then do it all again, faster.
01Mine
Manage and visit your private mine with
/mine. It resets when it's cleared and grows wider as you prestige.
02Fill your backpack
Mined blocks go straight into an unlimited backpack that sells itself automatically every 30 seconds.
03Enchant
Spend Tokens on 21 custom pickaxe enchants - from Fortune to Black Hole. Change your mind? Disenchanting refunds 80%.
04Climb
Prestige all the way to 1,000, then rebirth for a permanent multiplier on everything you earn.
Progression
Prestige. Rebirth. Repeat, richer.
Every 20 prestiges your mine's blocks shift one step along all 17 terracotta colours - each a little more valuable than the last.
Prestige 0 → 1,000
Prestige
- A gentle, linear cost curve - no late-game cliff.
- Your mine expands by a block every 38 prestiges.
/prestigemaxbuys as many levels as you can afford.
At prestige 1,000
Rebirth
- Resets your money and prestige - Tokens and Gems are untouched.
- Each rebirth adds a permanent +100% money, token and gem multiplier.
- See who's furthest ahead with
/rebirthtop.
Level 1 → 100
Your pickaxe
- Earns XP from every block, worth +1% sell value per level and unlocking new enchants.
- Rebirth it at the Pickaxe Forge to earn Rebirth Tokens.
- Spend them on Gem Infusions - permanent money, token and gem bonuses.
Rewards along the way: the 100-step Mining Path pays out as you break blocks (/paths), playtime rewards unlock at 30 minutes up to 10 hours (/playtime), and a daily quest scales its payout to your progress (/quests).
Economy
Three currencies, each with a job.
Money climbs the ladder, Tokens power your pickaxe, and Gems buy the rare stuff. All three can be boosted by rebirths, boosters and pets - and the price your blocks sell for also climbs with your pickaxe level and your rank.

TokensEarn itTokenator and Token Excavator, drills, robots and daily quests.

Ranks multiply what you sell
Prisons ranks raise your total sell multiplier and add perks like extra pet slots, kits and vaults. They're bought in-game with network Coins through /coinshop - and a Prisons rank applies to Prisons only. Compare every perk with /ranks.

Beyond the mine
Pets, machines, dungeons and a market that only opens once an hour.
Pets
Seven pets, five rarities, one job each: the Banker multiplies money, the Mint tokens, the Jeweler gems, the Scholar pickaxe XP, the Catalyst your enchant procs, the Magnet finds XP and the Ascendant ranks you up over time. Feed them Pet Candy to level them to 50, merge duplicates, and unlock extra active slots with a rank. Open them with /pets.

The Black Market
Every hour at :45 one rare item goes up for auction - a mine bomb, crate key, robot, pickaxe skin or mystery pet egg. Bid Gems with /bm; only the winner pays.
Robots & drills
Machines that earn money and tokens while you play. Drills sit inside your own mine and clear it block by block - up to five at once. Merge two of a tier into the next with /merge, and upgrade them with Gems.
Mine Domains
Collectible auras that wrap your mine in particles and boost everyone mining inside it - a currency, your enchant procs or pickaxe XP. Roll for them with /domains; duplicates level them up.
Cells
A second personal island to build on. Valuable blocks raise its worth - climb /cell top.
Public mines
Open your mine to visitors and choose how much of what they mine they keep - the rest is paid to you.
Mine bombs & Overdrive
Bombs clear a chunk of your mine instantly. Mine 1,000 blocks without stopping to trigger a 2× Prismatic Overdrive.
Dungeons
Form a party of up to five, pick a class - Fighter, Tank, Assassin, Mage or Healer - and take on the bosses.
PvP & events
Custom armor sets, duels and bounties, plus King of the Hill and Mining Frenzy events.
Trading
Swap items face to face with /trade or list them on the /ah for Gems or Tokens.
