MiningMaven SMP Economy Guide: Dollars, Tokens and How to Earn Both

How money works on MiningMaven SMP: the two currencies, every way to earn them, where to spend them, and how players trade with each other.

By the MiningMaven SMP team · Updated October 13, 2026

MiningMaven SMP runs on two currencies. Dollars ($) are the everyday money you earn from almost everything you do. Tokens are the rarer currency that buys ranks, keys and spawners. Both can be earned just by playing, and players set most prices themselves by trading with each other.

Dollars ($)

• Every new player starts with $20,000.
• Check your balance with /bal, see the richest players with /baltop, and send money with /pay (it asks you to confirm first).

Ways to earn dollars

• Daily quests: $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000 for the Low, Medium and High quest (see /quests).
• Milestones: $5,000 at level 1 up to $125,000 at level 9, on each of the 69 milestones.
• Chat games: a quick puzzle pops up in chat every 5 minutes, and the first player to answer wins $5,000.
• Jobs: other players post jobs with /order, asking for items and paying per item. Deliver them and get paid right away, even for part of an order.
• Selling: sell wands sell a whole chest at once at the server's price list. The Builder rank and above can use /sell all to sell your whole inventory.
• The auction house (/ah) and your own player shop (/ps): sell to other players at your own price.
• KOTH: each win pays $250,000 (KOTH only counts with at least 2 players online).
• Weekly leaderboards: on the five paid boards, first place wins $1,000,000, second $500,000, third $250,000.
• Crates: Vote, Supreme and KOTH crates all have cash prizes.

Tokens

Tokens buy the six ranks, crate keys in /keys, and spawners. Check yours with /tt and send them with /tt pay.

• Earn them in game: 50 for finishing all three daily quests, 50 for a KOTH win, 250, 150 and 75 for the weekly top three on a paid leaderboard, 10 to 150 for milestone levels 5 to 9, 100 for linking your Discord, and as crate prizes.
• Tokens can also be bought in the store on this website. They are the only thing the store sells, and everything they buy can also be earned by playing.
• Rank prices: Sprout is free (link your Discord), then Forager 1,500, Builder 2,500, Explorer 4,500, Champion 6,500 and Legend 13,000 Tokens. See /rank.
• Key prices in /keys: Supreme 250, Enchantments 500, Cosmetics 1,000 Tokens.

Trading with other players

• Auction house (/ah): list the item in your hand for dollars or Tokens. Listings last 24 hours, and a 1% fee is taken from the sale. New players get 3 listing slots, the free Sprout rank gets 20, and ranks raise it up to 75 for Legend.
• Player shops (/ps): set up your own chest shop that sells while you are offline. /shops lets everyone search what all shops are selling.
• Direct trades (/trade): swap items, dollars, Tokens and XP face to face. Both players must accept, and any change resets both accepts.
• Jobs (/order): post orders for items you need, 3 at a time to start and up to 9 with ranks. Your payment is held until the items are delivered, and they wait in your inbox.

Where dollars go

• The Black Market (/bm): five rare deals every 12 hours, from $50,000 crate keys to a $1,000,000 Elytra.
• The Head Merchant at spawn: decorative heads that change every Monday.
• Other players: buying from the auction house, shops and jobs is where most money changes hands.

Tips for new players

• Do your daily quests first. They are the fastest steady income early on.
• Check /order for jobs you can fill with things you already have.
• Look at /ah and /shops before selling, so you know the going price.
• Save Tokens for a rank. Each rank adds perks like more auction slots.
