Economy
Earn coins through play, send payments, trade items and run a market stall. Learn how balances and loans work.
Sunday Market pays coins for time in the world and for ordinary actions such as mining, combat and fishing. Java and Bedrock players use the same economy, with a balance for each account. Check yours with /balance, then use your coins to trade with other players, set up a market stall, or buy a Ward for your build.
Rarer ore has a better chance to pay than stone, but no ore guarantees a payout. The server also pays five coins for each hour online. How it pays lists the current chances, streaks and milestones.
Move coins
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/balance (or /bal) | Show your coins |
/pay <player> <amount> | Send a one-way payment of 1 to 100,000 coins |
/vaultop | Show the richest player balances |
/trade <player> | Offer items and coins in a window that both players confirm |
/loan | Open the loan menu |
The $ shown on some menus and stall labels means the same coins you see in /balance. Coins are stored with your account, not carried as inventory items. A redeemable cash paper made with /tradecash is an exception: treat it as a valuable item until someone redeems it.
/pay takes coins straight from your balance, so check the player name before sending. For a two-way deal, the trade window lets both players review the offer. Market stalls buy and sell from a chest even when their owner is offline. The Auction House (/ah) lists up to five of your items for every player to buy from a menu. Staff can also run stalls with unlimited stock; look at a stall's label and details before trading.
Loans
/loan offers repayable credit. One loan can be active at a time, with installments due every 24 hours. The menu shows the amount and schedule before you borrow. Miss three payments and the loan defaults; Slowness and Mining Fatigue apply until you clear the debt. A loan is useful for a purchase you can repay from play, but it is still a debt.
What money cannot buy
Sunday Market has no real-money item store or donor tier. In-game coins come from play and trade, and ordinary players can buy the same Ward and pack options through in-game menus. If someone claiming to be staff asks you to pay them real money for an in-game benefit, report it through /helpop.
