Your claim is yoursClaim land with coins and nobody can grief or loot it. Outside claims anything goes: raid, steal, fight.
Money that can't be printedThe Pearl Exchange pays less when an item floods the market, there's a daily limit, and every coin made or destroyed is on this page.
No AFK grindingSpawners make their loot while you're away (up to 8 hours' worth). Shards only come from fighting and from playing with your hands on the keyboard.
Shards and spawners can't be bought10 shards a kill, 1 per 10 minutes of real play, never sold in the store or sent to an alt. Spawners take shards or coins you earned by playing.
Fair fightsA kill counts once a day per victim. Combat tag: no /home or /spawn mid-fight, and logging out drops your stuff.
No loot boxesNo crates, no keys, no gambling with real money. The weekly lottery takes earned coins only.
Room to breatheWorld border ±25,000 (Nether ±3,125). You start somewhere quiet, away from other players.
A shop that follows the market/shop prices rise when coins pile up and never undercut what players sell on /ah. Coins paid there are destroyed.
Fights on demand/rtpqueue pairs you with someone of similar gear and drops you both at the same random spot.
Java and BedrockSame world, same economy, menus made for both.
